Thinking, thinking, thinking about a seed of an idea that even my agent says would be a hard sell.
Go for it if you do it as a labor of love, knowing it’s a long shot,
that’s what Tracey says. That’s pretty much been my approach for the last sixteen years. What’s one more try this way? Satisfaction, that’s what.

If there isn’t love in the making, there won’t be good art TO sell! I can’t wait to hear about this one.
Exactly! I can’t imagine all the time and effort revision takes without first being in love.
I love that stack of books you have! And what you say about 16 years of writing for love and long shots made me smile. That’s pretty much where I’ve lived for decades.
I haven’t yet read this but just ordered Fall Leaves on Mary’s Lee’s recommendation. It sounds like it would fit well on your pile: http://readingyear.blogspot.com/2014/09/fall-leaves.html
I happened upon your BECOMING LITTLE WOMEN at the library last week. Didn’t know about this book before now! Are you taking the free Laura Ingalls course, by chance?
Hi, the Alcotts are another obsession, maybe more so than those Ingalls, since growing up (and staying) in Massachusetts I related to them. My Dad took me and cousins to visit Orchard House when we were kids, and later we bicycled to Fruitlands, where I stared at the slanted ceiling that Louisa and her sister slept under. — the Laura Ingalls Wilder course sounds fun, but I’m immersed in some other obsessions at the moment, so am holding back!
Wow, how thrilling to see the very ceiling!! I love that kind of thing. You’re so lucky to live back east with so much history of that time period. Our cliff dwellings and pueblos s out here in the southwest just goes back a thousand or so. LOL.
Wow, you’ve got us all very much intrigued! 😉
We’ll talk sometime. 🙂
