The New Year, and the new book

Hey guys, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the world’s lamest blog. Sorry I never seem to update this thing worth a damn. But I turned in a rough draft of the new book, tentatively titled “The Disaster Diaries” and clocking in at 140 thousand words (which is way, way too epic). So I’m looking forward to trimming the fat, “murdering my darlings,” and finishing the book. I doubt very much it will be published in 2012, though–but it might sneak in during the winter. Spring 2013 is more likely. We’ll see–Penguin is a new experience for me.

A blueprint for beating Hendo?

Shogun Hendo was an amazing fight, and I thought it could have easily been a draw, with Shogun taking the last two rounds as 10-8 rounds…I hate to see the guy who’s coming on and dominating at the end of the fight lose because of points, but it is what it is.

I think Shogun really had a blueprint for beating Hendo–put him on his back. I thought of Hendo as a good challenge for Jones, but after that fight I have to imagine that Jones will put Hendo on his back and maul him.

And hats off to Wand for fighting a smart fight–he really kept his distance until he could make something happen with it. I thought Cung was going to have an easy night.
