January 2009 - The bad news: there are many characters added to the cast. The good news: I know what’s happening. I know who Augusta marries.
I’ve so many characters I need ways to distinguishing them. I’m writing their names in a notebook and keeping track of when they first appear. I’m thinking that it’s going to prove helpful down the road.
Family members are added. The family trees leaf and new branches grow. It’s exciting. I can see the far reaching possibilities of reoccurring and related characters spanning over several books.
Now there’s a concern regarding the ages of my main characters. I’m making charts like crazy… dates of births, marriages, and deaths. I’m thinking the timeframe for the first book may be 1801, a bit before the Regency period. . . Georgian.
