I didn't know saying a simple "yes" could lead to such huge challenges and such a dramatic change in my life.
You would think that being swept back into the dirty thirties would be dry, distressing and dreadful, but I'm finding it fascinating! When your second cousins gang up on you to write the story of their fathers who were orphaned at an early age, what do you do? Do you say "Nah, that's not my type of writing?"
Well, I tried that, but "repented" a couple years later, and you know what, their story is not a dusty manuel in spite of the setting.
Would you let your child have a badger for a pet? What if the badger leaps out of a loft and kills a sixty pound pig?
Did you know that one-room-schoolhouse kids used to race down to the creek at recess time to go swimming then rush back more sweaty than ever when the first bell rings?
I'm sure having a lot of fun writing this book and learning some amazing stuff.
But really, don't you wish I was working on it rather than rambling away on a blog page?
While you patiently wait to learn more about these seven orphan children, why not meander over to my website. There's more of my work there.
