I'm stuck. I'm unable to write anymore. Really, anything actually. Check my blog, and you'll see why. Until then, I thought this thread would help me get my ya-yas out, and organize at the same time.

For those who are unware, my novel(s) is historical-fiction, geared around the American Revolution. It's been done before, such as Johnny Tremain, but my interpetation is setup much differently. You really go through a timeline, and experience (I hope!) firsthand how the trifles affected one family, and the people connected to them. Uh hem.., Moving on...
Currently, and I've mentioned it a few times in my blog, I'm technically half done. Whew! The reason is there are two books. Yup! Our Bretheren is the first, and currently I'm up to the year 1770 - the years are actually the chapters. By 1772, I haven't made up my mind if I'll end book one at the current date or carry it onto 1775, and end it there. I guess I should do more researching.
The second book already has a title. XD Unfortunately, browsing portfolios is disabled but if you really want to know, the title was originally in latin, and it can be found on Paul Revere's bookplate. Don't you love me? LOL... Will the title be in latin? Possibly... XD
Three characters that are bashing me over the head
Lovely, eh? There are two for sure who cannot wait to take the stage and preform. The other is awfully shy but tells me a few bits here and there.
So, there is:
Duff - Will NOT, leave me alone under any circumstances, and he's only four days old! Sheesh! How presistant can one person be? At least he's a beer-swigger! That always makes things interesting! Anything can, and will happen! YES!
Angus - This dude creeps me out. It's as simple as that. There are times where I think Angus actually is sensative or mildly caring, but I should know better by now... Frankly, I'm not looking forward to working with him.
Garrick - He's the shyest character I have. He rarely speaks, which sucks but at least Garrick possess one nice detail then the entire cast. Though he would propably knock you in the jaw just for making eye-contact (I'm serious), he has shown me a great deal through body postures, and just acting out scenes, soley without words. Actually, it's quite amazing. I think when the time comes, probably in the second book, Garrick will quickly become one of my favorites. There is just something about him... He's like a big teddy bear, who's been yearning for attention a long, long time, since birth actually. When you meet Garrick, he'll be in his thirties or somewhere around there.
Well, that's all for now because I have to now pack for vacation. I'll be passing the heart of the Revolution - where it all started - Boston! It'll be very refreshing to further my research and visit the actual historic places mentioned in Bound for Glory.
Ta!
