I have no where near 1857 though, but it is funny becuase that is the year my current work in progress is set in. Good luck on getting through all of them, it should take you quite awhile. Sign up for a free copy and if you win it will move it up in your list.

I was just working on that wps doc earlier this morning and my mountain stands 1857 books high. It will take some time for me to get the monies for all of them but it will get done a little at a time.

I have had a great day thanks to everyone and I am very grateful. I like the time period, but this is the only book that I have from it so far, but I have several more planned for this time. The majority of my books are around the 17 and 1800's.

Perfection is not real and if they were perfect it would make for a boring story. I don't like the stereotypes of the dainty girl who squeals and faints, though I have to admit that several of my WIP's have the squealing girly girls.http://dawnchandlersramblings.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/07558219291224224364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091494166920508951.post-87426782734888140992010-06-16T18:08:24.247-07:002010-06-16T18:08:24.247-07:00Hi Dawn,

I still had not turned my work in for publishing but I told her that I still wrote as often as I got a chance. If I see her now I am sure she will be pleased to know that I finally turned my work in. I enjoy drawing and painting as well, though I don't get much time to do either.

I always wanted to be a writer myself, I even published some magazines on how to write but I was far too lazy to make the disciplined effort and neither did I have the imagination to create and plot a story. Fortunately I've found that I enjoy drawing and painting instead.
