I am Justin Tadlock.

I am also a writer. A front-end developer. A gardener. A small-town Alabama kid just trying to figure out whatever it is that that folks are supposed to figure out on this journey. Welcome to my little home on the web.

The Historian: A Gothic Final

Wow! What a night! What a day! I have spent the better part of it, since around 1:30 pm until just about now, reading Elisabeth Kostova’s The Historian I stopped at around page 120 yesterday, and now I have made it to 445. I did sleep for about 3 1/2 … Continue reading →

30,000 Hits, Wordpress, & The Historian

I have made it up to 30,318 hits at this point in my site’s life. That’s a pretty big milestone. Well, I was actually going to post a big 25,000 HITS banner across when I reached that point, but I realized I had already passed it a few thousand later. … Continue reading →

The Site Is Missing Something?

What have we here? The site is missing something? Yes. I’m trying to get this thing running faster. I don’t know what’s going on. I thought it might be my code. I thought it might be Yahoo’s webhosting service. I couldn’t figure it out. I don’t think it’s the webhosting … Continue reading →

I Just Had To Post An Entry

Yes, I should have already gotten in bed. But, what am I thinking? I have no clue. I was going clean out some old files and see if any of them were worth salvaging, and I just got to reading through a whole lot of junk. Then, I realized I’m … Continue reading →

A Harsh Realization & 2 More Weeks

I have finally come to the harsh realization that I will not be able to finish my novel in the next 2 days for NaNoWriMo. I simply have not got the time to finish off the next 25,000 words or so. I mean, it took me this long to make … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving Week Wrap-Up

There’s so much to say, I don’t even know where to get started. First off, I haven’t abandoned you avid readers. I have been away for a while, which you would know if you do actually read the posts on the site. I did write a couple of posts in … Continue reading →

Ethnography, The Gatekeepers, & Creek Hill

Another day gone by. Another late night. It’s definitely time for me to go to bed. I worked on my ethnography project for a couple of hours tonight, and I was completely ticked off by something I had forgotten to do. I had saved my work on the Peavy family … Continue reading →

The Gatekeepers

I have decided to write in my little notepad my entries for my website. This way I can keep posting on the happenings of Thanksgiving week and then post them up when I get back to the luxury of my own home. I didn’t really feel like writing much tonight … Continue reading →
