mmerriam: (Oney)
[personal profile] mmerriam
While the word count this week isn’t large, I still made strong forward progress with all the outlining and brainstorming and research. That I began the writing in the 1929 section at all is a win for me this week, since I am working with an almost entirely new cast of characters.

Most of this week’s new words were written at Butter Bakery and Café while hanging out with of writers. The hardest thing has been finding the right voice for this section. At the moment it seems to want to be written in a remote, almost dream-like style of prose. Whatever works.

I may not have anything to post next week, unfortunately. Life is being life and sometimes you have to deal with those life distractions and obligations even when all you want to do is write.

1. Wrote 1,015 new words
2. Researched clothing and living in late 1920s rural Oklahoma
3. Made more outline notes for the 1929 section
4. Studied more of my Oney: A Community History book
