Writing Update, Inkling Explorations and Giveaway Winner, and a Link


Hello all! Life has been super busy here, but I've also most happily been able to keep up with David's Shoulders over the last two weeks! After an intense first draft of Chapter 7 (taking about a month to complete) I started Chapter 8 on Monday and actually reached the halfway point yesterday.

Chapter 8 is also embarking us en route back to the west -- this time with our hero firmly (and physically) on board -- hence, it's the perfect time to share another handy link. While I haven't yet fully explored the site, this page is an organized layout of bugle calls used daily (and in action) by the US Cavalry, etc. Ordered from sun-up to sun-down, you can also listen to an example of each. Check it out here and let me know what you think!


And I'm so delighted to have had all your enthusiastic participation in the Inkling Explorations launch this month! Thank you so much everyone!!

Our happy winner of the paperback copy of Greenwillow is: Natalie
(Congratulations, Natalie! :) And I'll be sending you a direct email with the details.)

Remember, the link-up IS still open through the end of the month! The original link post is here.

And have no fear -- the violet subject is not exhausted as there are still at least three Anne of Green Gables/Montgomery quotes (that I can think of). For a teaser: one mentions violets and amethyst during Anne's early days at Green Gables, one uses the description "empurpled" (also during her early days), and one comes from Paul Irving. Have fun guessing and if anyone wants to post them, I'd be thrilled!

Hoping you're having a wonderful Friday!
