CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

May 1 Thoughts 358 word count

Intending to blog daily this month. Now that MarNoWriMo finished (March Novel Writing Month) and April Script Frenzy, now that I am STILL planning, cogitating, researching, and outlining my The Civil War Series, inspired by characters from the April Stage Play written for Script Frenzy, I ought to have time to blog daily. Yes? Who am I kidding? It was the Stage Play that exhausted me; in March, I wrote upwards of 2500 words a day, finishing a novel I began Dec. 9, writing its sequel March 1-22, and writing 20 chapters of a third in that series March 23-31.





But at any rate, I intend to blog daily from now on-partially to keep up with the principle of

, partially because thinking out my "writing process" thoughts via blog entry clarifies for me, partially because I need to "keep writing" to keep priming my Muse pump . So I think now that rather than blog just about current events (unless something fires me up, which happens so very often!) I shall blog on my Writing Process and updates.








In addition to doing research for  The Civil War Series, which now seems to be going for four volumes rather than three, I have been reading:





Anne Bishop-


                    Pillars of the World/Tir Alain Trilogy Book One


                    Sebastian-Ephemera Book One


                    The Black Jewels Trilogy





Laurie R. King-


                    The Language of Bees (2009 entry in her Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes Series)





upcoming:





Anne Bishop-


                    House of Galann /Tir Alain Book Three


                    Belladonna/Ephemera Book Two





and many, many books on The American Civil War, the antebellum years (Abolition and Slavery) and Reconstruction.
