Thread Name: BS: NanoWriMo - Anyone up for it?
Subject: RE: BS: NanoWriMo - Anyone up for it?
Well, NanoWriMO is not in my sights this year although I am writing.

One of these days I'm going to write a love story or something like that. Someday I want to write something just out of my own experience.I tend to write stories set in a specific time and place and there is always a great deal of research to be done.   Anybody else have that trouble?

Right now I'm well into a novel-length multi-faceted story set in the 1880s, set there specifically because it involves the everyday use of horses and since that is something I know a lot about (being brought up as I was) that part comes easy. However there is a lot about the 1880s I know very little about so the writing is slow going. Thank goodness for online research. I used to spend weeks in libraries.

The working title for this 'book' is 'Ny Mane is Jeo', although later that will be just one chapter heading.
