I am having a devil of a time trying to get into 1853 mode. It is so frustrating. I can think of things when I can’t be at the computer and then by the time I get there I find it was all just a fleeting moment of narrative or conversation and I’m stuck again. I keep trying different approaches to see if I can get the word count flowing to no avail. This is what I get for promising a book by February. UGH!!

Do some research about the period. Frank Yerby’s books were from that time period. You might want to check them out. Also watch GWTwind.
