Finished drafting the final scene in my third R&B notebook today AND began again typing the story into a document. Am now the proud author of a vast 14 page manuscript! A minimum of three typed pages a day will see the scribbled notebook material organized and ready to read in a few weeks.
Devoured one research book word by word, it was that good. Got lots of info for a few scenes that incorporate some actual historical characters. I’ve never used real people before this way; it’s fun work. Skimmed another reference enough to see it doesn’t contain a few of the exact facts I need. Been through five or six books, several libraries, bookstores, and internet sites tracking facts.
Will make like a book detective today & venture farther afield for the so far illusive tome. I want that book, those facts, in my hands today.
Other projects are starting to pop into my head, but they’re all still in planning stages, side things I want do at the same time I’m writing the novel. To that end, I have a couple of queries to compose before I commence the great book hunt.
