Scrunched between chaperoning a youth trip to Planet Wisdom in Lakeland, writing feature articles for the Putnam County Courier Journal weekly paper, and reviewing chapters for our Putnam Writer's Group, is a small amount of time I've been able to spend on writing a new historical fantasy (as yet unnamed) set in Melrose, Florida.
Although, I first planned to have the writing completed in a couple of months, it's become obvious that it will probably take me six months to a year to finish the first draft. I've discovered this manuscript will require a lot more research to make it as accurate as possible, even though it's a work of fiction.
As I mentioned above, I've become a part-time writer for a weekly newspaper located in Crescent City, Florida. In this week's edition, I may have two articles included: the Palatka Municipal Airport Fly-in and another about buzzards wintering in Florida. Last week, on section B1, I wrote about our church's youth trip to Planet Wisdom. Check out the e-Edition of the paper at: http://www.cjnewsfl.com/
