Today I went to the Liberty Lake Historical Group’s meeting which had a military/Veteran’s Day theme. I got to share photos of my grandfather who served in the Army Air Corps in WWII including army newspaper articles! Very nice meeting with great members who also brought items too.

Got Day 8s update! My word count is 0, but used my time to plot Chapter 2 so I don’t wander/write aimlessly which saves me time and wasted words. Anyone else do this?
Must answer: Who’s in the scene, why are they there, what’s the purpose of the scene/chapter, how does it end?

Today I finished my slides for a talk I’m giving Saturday where I get to share my research for my next novel based on a local who murdered his estranged wife in the late 1930s, sentenced for life and lived to be 93. It’s crazy and needs to be told. #writerssky #writerscommunity #booktalk #maryland
