                Oh yes! I like when you get creating the NaNoWriMo stories - you post enticing bits for us to enjoy. And the finished product...?

                Good girl for writing them down as they float around. IT is so exciting when the writers juices start to flow.

                    Pat..those ideas come and go quickly, at least with me they do if
                
                I don't write them down as they come (not good on my part, I know).

                I'm afraid that this reminded me that I have a good book going and it is beside my recliner.  I must go see what happens next in the book.  I wish I had one of yours to read next.

                    Re: Nautikos... what year was this???
                
                This would probably have happened about 1923 or 24. I've decided Simon's folks died in the Spanish flu epidemic of 1914, at which time he was twelve. All of this, of course, is carved in Jell-o, so it could change, but I knew men like Simon when I was a kid in the late '40s, so finding people of that era to populate my story will not be an impossible stretch of the imagination.

                Yes, I do like this scene! (You should have the sign read H. L. Mencken, LOL.) BTW, what year was this, or at least what decade?
