5 Gladiators Who Deserve Their Own Movie

The first known gladiator competition in ancient Rome occurred in 264 BCE at the funeral of Brutus Pera, where three sets of combatants fought to the death. Before long, gladiator fights became extremely popular among the Roman public and were treated as entertaining spectacles despite the brutal violence displayed.  As the sport gained popularity, the number of gladiators grew, peaking in the year 107 CE when the Roman Emperor Trajan welcomed around 5,000 pairs of gladiators to perform during a 123-day series of celebrations throughout the city of Rome. Many of these battles took place at the Colosseum, which was built between 70 and 72 CE, and served as the site for the grandest gladiatorial contests.

🎉 I’ve finally finished the first draft of my second teen/YA novel, ‘How Green Are Your Eyes’ 🎉

There’s been times when I’ve wondered if I would get to the end… So many of my fiction projects in the past have been left unfinished. But hooray!

Now to leave it, mull, edit, redraft, and then put out to query and rejection 😂

While many (most?) of you are pumping out verbiage for #NaNoWiMo, I've spent the past couple of weeks re-re-revising the first two pages of a brand new novel. Next big goal is to finish the chapter. By then I'll know what I'm dealing with.

Hoping to have a decent draft by next year's festivities.

TBH I'm not sure I'm on the right server, or instance, or whatever, or if that even matters.

Thoughts? Prayers? Bueller?
