First Draft in 30 Days Workshop: Setting Sketches. This is a bit of a toughie, requiring tons of research to come (I love it!) because I have settings in:





Yoruba, West Africa, 1720


Aruba, Dutch Antilles, 1720-1750


Georgia, USA, 1750-1870 (and probably beyond into the 1930's)





Wish I had not lost all my saved Internet research on Haitian history from when I was starting a novel on Dominque/future Louisiana late 18th-early 19th cent.
