Day 24
DEDICATED DAY OFF FOR THE LORD’S DAY
OLD PHOTOS FROM GEORGIA (and Georgia Genealogy) – I am a Visual Storyteller. I post a photo of an ancestor and tell a nonfiction story about their life, which includes research and edits just as any story would. Therefore, I add the word counts here. I should have said something before now but didn’t (just as I don’t always mention the historical paperback). I will here on.
Neither – You're most welcome. I’ve yet to start with a murder in the first chapter, but would if it came down to it. Stephen King didn’t mention the first killing in IT until the 3rd section of the prologue. John D. MacDonald sometimes waits several chapters before his first murder. If your opening sentence hooks the reader, you can use clues and tone to pace up to that first death.
Woolly – I once wrote waste instead of waist ala He put his arm around her waste. My baby sister was the one who spotted it on the WIP. Like to never lived it down. I’m also good at typos like / instead of a period and leaving out articles, FCOL.

Lea – 1840 is a good word count.
Sissy's closing on her house tomorrow!
We are set to move on November 6. I won't be here after that until we get the internet hooked up.
