Ok, so I'm taking American history this year in school, and i read the quote by Patrick Henry, and that got me really motivated to write something about the revolutionary war. The thing is, would anyone really read it?

Oh, totally. Historical fiction is difficult to do in that you have to work in the history and not make it seem overly-obvious, but it's really cool when someone pulls it off. ^_^ Best of luck! PM me if you ever put something up.

Yes! I would gladly read it.

awesome...ok, i'll put some stuff on here for y'all

If it was well written, I would eat it up quicker than cheese cake, haha.


Like Sam said, though, it can be a bit difficult. Heh.

For those who know me, need I answer?

PM me, and I'll gladly read and edit it. I've studied the 18th Century specifically for nearly four years, and the Revolutionary War since I was twelve. I have stacks upon stacks of books specifically dealing with this period. In fact, I've begun collectiong milteria from the 18th Century. I have an Officer's Light Calvary Saber, circa 1770-1780 in my collection of sharp and pointy things.

My own novel is dedicated to the pre-Revolutionary years, meaning the events that led up to the war itself.

So yes, I'm a buff with this period, tenfold.


EDIT: Patrick Henry is one very interesting character. He's known to be a firebrand, and no other can possibly claim that title except Samuel Adams, and even that is debateble. Henry was very much the firecracker or more accurately - the bonfire of the Revolution. "By his very tongue, he could change the laws of men." -Unknown quote I've retained. I've also have done quite a bit of research on Henry's biography and briefly put my love of the Revolutionary War and Henry's true character to the test. If you're interested, in my portfolio, check out "Pugna Pro Patria." It's a short story revolving around the famed 1765 Stamp Act.

Best,
