You know, I may have been thinking of something else at the time. Someone may have been talking to me about hockey at work. My bad.

in case you were wondering, my friend Nathanael makes up his own words. “Faught” is a combination of “fought” and “taught”. So basically he was saying he would have taught that guy a lesson by fighting him. Thus, “faught”. It’s a great way to save a few words and help the environment.

@greg – Thanks so much! When my proposal goes out again, it is going to say, “My prospective audience is Christians aged 16-55, specifically Christians who are sports fans, and also Greg, who has promised to buy a copy of the book.”

@jason – thanks for the encouragement! means alot coming from someone who’s already been there and done that.

@erik – good advice from gramps! and did I say I was an avalanche fan? i dont remember saying that. I’m not much for hockey anymore, though i grew up cheering for the Bruins.

My Grandfather is a writer, he always tells me that a writer is only successful for two reasons 1) the writer writes what they know and love and 2) the writer writes in the manner in which they feel is best. That aside, I wish you all the luck in the world writing your book. Also, I think we need to start a book raising revolution, which would be sweet!

By the way, I too am a huge Avalanche fan. I pay my respects to the Kings and Ducks because I live in Southern Cali, but I am an Avs fan all the way.

Totally agree, Bryan. Write your book. Write your blog. Let it be you. Don’t write for a target demographic or a publisher or for weird claustrophobic bookstore freaks. Write for yourself.

And please remember to always raise your book when I pass by.

Seems to have worked well for Don Miller. His words… his voice. And even if your book doesn’t get published, I’ll buy a copy.
