Finally clearing away enough schedule to work on this project. With tight deadlines, I figure I will need to be ready to write no later than the end of December! Yikes.
Day Three: signed contract, reviewed writer's guidelines and highlighted important information pertinent to my book.
Day Four: Internet research to fins as much information as possible on the current topic I am researching. The interested and expected outcome of this is that one snippet led to another search and that produced yet another until actual new topics began to emerge. Now hopelessly lost in a sea of paper and ideas. * I prefer to print out what I find online for three reasons. 1. easy for me to read, 2. I can highlight and make notes on things I find, 3. I can refer to it later side by side with other information I find.
Day Five, which is today: Organizing the sea of papers into labeled folders further solidifying that fact that topics are emerging. Now I'm having fun because I am learning many new and interesting things about this region. My job will be to share that with my readers!
Day Six will involve further investigation into things I am finding until I can take these notes to the Historical Society to snoop in their archives.
