Emotional Olympics, London, and Camp NaNoWriMo: Etc. Etc. Etc. (Misc. Thoughts)



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.

Starting in Jamestown



The book, AMERICAN ROOTS 1585-1607 takes place mainly in Jamestown, Virginia. But, it starts in Roanoke, the Lost Colony of Virginia and the first attempt of making a permanent English settlement in America, the New World.
Jamestown is the first permanent English Settlement in the United States of America. It dates prior to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Hence, Jamestown is the birthplace of the U.S.

What If?

What if you could trace your ancestors back to the United States of America and the year 1585?
What about 1607?
What about several people of your family from 1607?
That's precisely what I, Stacy--the author, have done. That is what the historical fiction series of: FAMILY TREEZ SERIES and the 1st book, AMERICAN ROOTS 1585-1607, is about.
Stay tuned.
