Sometimes I wish I had access to a time machine, where I could pop in on Emmett now and then in his life, only for about five minutes, and offer a thought that would, perhaps, pull him back from the brink of some of the poor choices he made in […]
Good news in the world of Emmett Wilson research, namely: A new computer! My old MacBook, bless its sluggish old hard drive, served me well for eight years; but, it was really slow (especially with handling all the images I’ve collected over the past two years for Emmett’s book). Also, […]
I don’t know anyone who can write a document without putting it through the rough draft process. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t write, minimally, two drafts before they call a document finished. Who are the people who can write a document, a chapter, a paper perfectly the first time, […]

This weekend, I’m working on a small part of the second chapter of Emmett’s story, taking place in December, 1899. Emmett is coming home from college (West Florida Seminary) for Christmas. I want to describe what the town looked like when he hopped off the L&N train at the Chipley […]
