Pre-Steal This Book

In academia, seeing your research being published by someone else sucks, but the consolation prize is that you know you had the right instincts choosing what to research.

I personally know someone who was writing a thriller about "the Jesus bloodline" just before Dan Brown.

(In retrospect, I think that author had more respect for historical facts, but he wasn't so adept at writing a page-turner.)

Too bad he tossed it, it may not have done well but would have been an interesting read in anycase.

that is some awesome work ethic
