the eBay/NaNo insanity update ~

[lookingland]

so, this book that i wanted on eBay sold for a whalloping $185 (oy vey!). i just ordered it from storage here at the libray i work for ~ now i have it for free.

i did buy the horse 'cyclopedia (1871) and one other about training horses (1881). didn't end up forking over that much money for them (yay!).

i also found some library books on the Georgia Military Institute and southern military academies. that ought to give me enough to go on to recreate Saint Timothy's in catonsville (good enough for now anyway).

research-wise i am almost all set for November ~ yay!



it just occured to me that this year's NaNo story is, in effect, a Christmas story (though, oy vey, not a very happy one). anyway, every year for my novel i choose a patron saint and a person to whom i would like to dedicate the story.

this year the most logical choice for a patron is saint nicholas of myra, since this is a story about boys and since Christmas plays a large role.

i'm a little more stumped on who to dedicate it to, but there's still time.
