MY BRAND SPANKING NEW WORK-IN-PROGRESS

I'm starting a new book which means I have a whole new piece of history to explore.  In this case, it's actually more than one piece of history - at least I think so.

Which means I have lots of eras to get familiar with.  And multiple characters to live in those eras.  People who will go through immigration, deportation, war, and I don't know what all. I have only the vaguest idea of what will happen or what really did happen in the history behind this story.

I have a concept but no real certainty that I can pull it off.    I have 3 DVDs and 4 books to get me started on research.  I have the internet.  And dreams of travel.

I have 6 lines.  I think they are rather beautiful.

I feel very rich.

And as hopeful as an immigrant moving to a new land.

  3. Amy - exciting yes! But before I travel I have lots of reading to do. Got to figure out what to see and who to interview when I am in Germany.

    Becky, I AM happy in this dream place.

  6. Six lines is better than no lines. And I bet by the time I've written this reply, you have far more than that. :)

    I'm looking forward to hearing more about this project!

  7. oooh - while you're in Germany, let me know if you meet any "Earnhardts". I think it's spelled "Ehrenhardt" over there.

    :) :)

    Hugs,

  8. Donna, I do have a few more lines - but not that many.

    Ehrenhardt - I'll keep my eyes open and who knows - maybe I'll have a character by that name.
