I jot the ideas down as they come and once a project is finished I usually know which characters are pushing to get out.Janet Lane Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488093917556546485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-3111842591703796372011-01-26T14:03:19.091-05:002011-01-26T14:03:19.091-05:00I love writing historical stories, especially abou...I love writing historical stories, especially about family histoy. Funny you should mention the Orphan Trains. My mother rode an Orphan Train (though they weren't callet this back then) from Brooklyn to Texas. I recently sold a MG story loosely based on her life. There is a lot I don't know about her. I have a whole library of books about the trains, both fiction and nonfiction. The stories of these children are fascinating and sometimes sad.<br /><br />Best of luck to you with your story. Sounds intriguing.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-39914328606278266152011-01-26T12:31:31.854-05:002011-01-26T12:31:31.854-05:00Kim,

The love story of my great-grandfather Consoli and his Mexican wife has always fascinated me. They even went to the Sonora mountains in Mexico to look for rumored 'buried' gold. <br /><br />Good luck on your new story! Don't you love it when a new story idea excites you?Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.com
