Have I ever told you about Malicio Ricketts? No, well you may be wondering why you would even know about a person with such a strange moniker. Well, let me tell you, he's part of the reason I've been so lazy at posting blogs.
You see, Malicio Ricketts has resurfaced into my life, to inflict harm and catastrophe and to do whatever he can to stop me from teaching and inspiring children to write their own stories. And, most of all, Malicio would take delicious delight in stopping me from completing my next book, Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger.
Malicio Ricketts is like my nemesis.
Sigh... Wait a minute. Someone just tapped me on the shoulder and told me that some young people may not understand what a nemesis is.
Okay, okay. Well, let me explain. You see, a nemesis is like someone who is against you, someone who is out to get you, but only you. For example, in The Series of Unfortuante Events, Count Olaf is the nemesis of orphans (but not all children, just orphans). In my book, Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers, you might say that Kendra's nemesis is Burdock Brown. And, in Anne of Green Gables, you could say that Anne's nemesis is any gable that is brown instead of green.
Get it?
Well, my nemesis is Malicio Ricketts. As I mentioned above, he's out to stop me from teaching and inspiring kids how to write their stories (okay, I can hear many of my students RIGHT NOW cheering for the success of Malicio Ricketts; Stop it!). Trust me, if Malicio Ricketts succeeds in his mission, there will be no "Mr. Wiz" to torture—I mean, er—inspire my students! Nor will I be able to finish up The Door to Unger.
I wish I could tell you more about the progress of my book here, but for now it will have to wait; when you are the author and illustrator named Lee Edward Fodi, it's never safe to sit in one place for too long….
