Clipped this from a post on the HIstorical Fiction mail list.  Seems to
suggest that the "great swampy middle" may be more than a Deborah
Chester teaching device, doesn't it?
-----------------------------
Okay, the WIP began in earnest in late August.  You all know how it
usually goes, that beginning flush of excitement.  With me it's a
mystery and did I have fun setting it up---I've worked on this idea off
and on since 1998---and introducing the cast.  I have a pretty good idea
who dunnit and why.  It's that swamp called the middle.  The plot
and subplots should begin to intertwine, the suspects to point fingers
at each other, and a rising tide of unease to build.  Any time now.

Don't you love having the cars, the clothes, the songs of the period all
at your fingertips, and the excitement wanes and you think, "Why in the
hell am I doing this?  It's utter rubbish!"

What do you folks do?

I think I'll have a glass of port, and, mentally anyway, go back to Tara
and think about it tomorrow.
