It may seem we’ve gone dark (or at least a little dim) here. Not the case. The lack of activity on the blog instead reflects industry behind the scenes. There has been travel in connection with the Garroway project, one trip a couple weekends ago to meet with my research associate, and another that begins in a few hours. If all goes as planned this newest will involve a couple hours or so spooling through some difficult-to-find microfilm. And in my off hours in the hotel room, I’ll also be working my way through more journalism of old via the good ol’ Newspapers account.
Best of all, the manuscript continues to grow, even if by only a hundred words a day. Making it part of my daily routine means this huge writing assignment has instead become a series of bite-size tasks. It’s one of the best pieces of advice I could give any writer: just write about 100 words a day and the words will add up on their own.
There are other things percolating and some of them I can’t report just now, but know that if and when they materialize, it will be a good thing indeed. In the meantime, stay tuned and I’ll have more finds here soon.
