Sometimes to tell the truth, one must tell the lie...


I was up at 3 am as usual, and thought I would write a wee bit on my up coming book.
Ha! I spent most of the time, making sure I had exactly what I wanted to say, in my tiny brain cells, and by that time, all I could do was write it, and leave it for later, to edit. I hate doing dialogue, but unlike my other books, this one is not non-fiction as in educational...in fact it is non-fiction, as in for entertainment only...
because sometimes to tell the truth, one must tell the lie.

Because it is written based loosely on people who were my ancestors, and is a compilation of stories, it would be impossible to completely tell it as a period piece. I like the way that my women are coming along. I have written men more often than women, and so it is a nice diversion. My hope is that the novel paints a picture of the truth, but have already had several comments about historical accuracy. I want that, but the settings are only part of the story. If only they would just quit fighting the civil war and reconstruction period following lees surrender......
One would think it might end someday....one would think...yes?

Question of the day::::::

Do you suppose one day, our great-great grandchildren,
will speak of recently visiting other planets????
cheerio
