Hey guys!!

As some of you know, I've been working on a project involving the Potato Famine for over a year. It's lying dormant, and I need links to find out info. Anything involving culture, music, etc. I'd love to know what one of the houses looked like...ya know, just stuff like that.

Anything helpful would be appreciated! If you have any pictures of Ireland, send them! Or rather, post them!

Wiggy ;)

Also, check out the NaNoWriMo Character & Plot realism section. Post there, it's amazing. XD

Wiggy!

Yay, you are working on it again. You know I'm all ears for any questions you've got. I rout around for some more pictures than the ones from before.

:D

Yup Cal, I'm most definitely working on it again. I've had a few plot ideas, but I forgot to write them down. :( But I wrote a dialogue exchange! It's kinda forced, but I'm getting a feel for their characters. Peter's not so Mr. Darcy as I thought he would be!

Thanks for the pics! I can't wait to see some!

Suz, I don't care whether it's google or you. I love you anyway!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/victorians/famine_01.shtml *loves the bbc*

http://www.nationalarchives.ie/topics/famine/famine.html It's mostly about the politics that were involved, so it might be useful but it might not *is clueless*
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)
