More book buying frenzy. This one came rather unexpectedly, for I'd put it on order back in November and Amazon spent the following months trying to track down a copy for me. Then it appeared on my doorstep yesterday, so the emails must have gone astray. Anyway I am glad to have the book , which is Aztec, Mixtec and Zapotec Armies, another Osprey "Men-at-Arms" book, full of cool pictures (the Mixtec war garb is particularly interesting, as well as the surprising information that royal Mixtec women had the political power to be "Queen" and wage war accordingly. I of course want to find out more about this for that has potential story written all over it.). Another nice addition to the research library.

This is more of a curiosity than anything, but after running a quick spell check  on the outline yesterday, to add the accent marks into my characters names after transferring my text from yWriter into Word, I noticed it scored an 12th grade reading level on their little Flisch-Kincaid reading level. The novel itself only scores a 6.5 level, so I'm curious about what constitutes the difference. How do they measure this anyway? Not that I need to know; just curious.

In other news, I'm planning to buy Duran Duran concert tickets this morning. They're going to be here at the new Wells Fargo Theater at the Convention Center May 12th.

But in the meantime, back to the outline.
