Is it just me, or does any one else shed a lot of tears during the Olympics?
Last night was quite emotional--between women's gymnastics team competition getting the gold to the 800 Men's relay in swimming. Never mind all of the other moments. How impressive and moving.
I get just as emotional for those who do not win, by the way.
Never mind how much I love seeing London when they break away to a commercial and when they come back from commercial. It's the very setting for the first book I am writing in my historical novel. Therefore, that moves me and inspires me as well. The things I am researching, I can see from today's perspective and it helps me put things into context. It helps that my husband is a studier of history, so he knows London. But, he's also been there. So, we can pause the screen and he points the sites out to me. I find this quite helpful.
Just a couple of thoughts for today... Now, I need to get back to the London in my book.
Total word count so far: 12,896.
Oh! And I am going to do Camp NaNoWriMo for August. You can find me here: http://www.campnanowrimo.org/campers/familytreezetc/novels/american-origins-part-1
I will do a new blog post about this so you know what I am talking about here, if you do not.
Have a blessed day.
