The story of Edward Braddock’s burial intrigued me and that’s how the setting for my #wip “The Parade of Fiery Darts” took place.
My fictional Sycamore Springs is located beside #FortNecessity and Edward Braddock makes humorous ghostly appearances in my #historicalfiction #familysaga novel.

Editing a lot lately.
I should give myself the nickname, “Fat fingers.” I can’t hit the right letters anymore. I need a bigger phone.
I mistakenly typed “Happy Buttday” to a Facebook friend.
The “u” is next to the “i,” “r” next to “t,” but how did I omit “h”? 🙄🤷🏼♀️

I have two ghosts in my novel, Chester and Daisy. Chester is a crow and Daisy is a “fluffy white dog.”
At a town meeting-
“Why do they get to be ghosts, but Lulu (a cow) didn’t get to come back when she got struck by lightning last week?”
I love writing. Such fun. 👻

My novel is filled with ghosts. Some are sarcastic, many are cranky. Some are particular, and one is very demanding. Most are quite funny.
But, only one is scary; a stranger in a blue suit. And the whole town is on alert when he returns.
I just love my ghosts. 👻❤️✍️📖

I don’t know why, but it seems like I am in a contest with myself to see how long I can go before turning on my furnace.
I got cold and turned it in Thursday night and am now cold with it set on 68°.
Why don’t I just turn it up? I’m not frugal.
I make no sense.

Well, of course I am late. I had my flu shot yesterday and am dragging this morning.
Why is this one giving me side effects like no other times? Every muscle and joint aches. (Maybe I’m just old) 😬
Wth is in the vaccine this year?
Oh, wait. RFK Jr is in charge. 🙄🤓

Main character Elwood Hawthorn is a cooper/farmer who planted rye and turned his surplus grain into whiskey. (1790’s)
So, I had to learn about early stills, certain types of barrels, and the fermentation process.
Right now I’m researching the Whiskey Rebellion. 🥃

So, I’m thinking about giving character Rosie my undiagnosed sleep apnea, because it’s comical. I came up with the brilliant idea to tape a styrofoam ball on my back so I won’t roll over onto my back.
I may also have a magnetic clip pressed against my septum. 🤷🏼♀️🤓
