Editing a novel can bring about really weird revelations
I was printing out one of the last novels I wrote. This one is a science fiction post-apocalyptic novel called Rumours of War, A Deck Const Story. The funny thing is that as I started reading it, I immediately realized I had written this novel in first person. Granted, it's been over 7 years since I've looked at it, but I completely forgot I wrote this from a personal perspective. All of the thoughts I had about rewriting parts of this novel just kind of bit me in the behind, because I never realized how close to home the protagonist is, as he's the one narrating the story.

For the record, there are a few novels I've written (or am writing) which I feel will be remembered as important (if I may venture to say so). One of them is Rumours of War. Two of the others are The Tales of Reagul, which I just finished editing, and the latest novel I am in the process of writing, The Ameriad, a humorous Greek epic of the founding of America by the survivors of Troy.
