This novel is the biggest project I have ever undertaken, for any reason. It has a lot of work to do, and I am nowhere near completing it. That said, I AM going to finish it. When I do, I WILL get it published, and I will dedicate it to my teachers; Mr. Kawano, Mr. Tracey, and Mr. Bailin. Mr. Kawano is no longer here with us, but he remains in spirit. I have felt that spirit in recent months, through successes and struggles alike. I know he would be proud of me. I know he would see all of the emotion that went into this work, and all the thoughts I've tried to compile into a coherent, readable form. I know he would appreciate all the preparation i've taken to make sure that this is something FRESH in American literature.
Wish me luck, Mr. K. This one is for you.
