Hello all!
I know I didn't post last week, and I'm sorry about that. The week before Thanksgiving break I wrote every day and found some great sources for the French Revolution story Genesis will tell. I want to make sure I get the history bits right before I create a story that differs from history. The two sources I found are online versions of two books that you can actually flip through and read like a book, which I like. One is a memoir of the family of royal executioners of France that has a chapter on the person I'm focusing on, Charlotte Corday. The other is a biography of Corday, and I really enjoy going through the books.
During Thanksgiving break, I did nothing. Well, I got all of my homework done for the break by Monday and then was in Orlando, Florida Tuesday through Saturday. Did I have time to write at all? Yes. In fact I could have been writing all afternoon on Saturday or Sunday last week, or even today. The truth is there's a lot going on in the house right now, and it's hard to focus on anything when someone you love has to go away for a while but you don't know how soon they're leaving, but they have to be at the recovery center for at least 30 days and thus won't be home for Christmas or New Years. Everyone here is struggling. I'm struggling, so forgive me if I don't meet expectations.
This week...It'd be nice to get something done this week. I'll try, but I don't know if I'll work on this more than the one day in class. I want to spend as much time as I can with them before they go while also making sure my grades don't fall apart in these last few weeks of the semester. If anyone is keeping up with these posts...thank you.
