Dorothea Jensen's Blog: August 2015
http://dorotheajensen.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts on writing stories that do not contain anyone with pointy ears (mostly). Monday, August 31, 2015. A DIRECT Kiss From Lafayette. So, in additional to getting a kiss from General Lafayette that was handed down through several generations, I also managed to get a buss from General Lafayette himself (sort of)! Check out My video blog #4. A Somewhat Indirect Kiss from Lafayette! I thought I'd talk a little about how I got the idea for my new historical novel for young readers, A Buss from Lafayette.

http://dorotheajensen.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts on writing stories that do not contain anyone with pointy ears (mostly). Saturday, February 21, 2015. So I've been doing some computer "housekeeping", deleting old files etc. and I came across this short piece I wrote a long time ago when I first started working on A Buss from Lafayette. It was so long ago that my niece, Lucy, for whom I then named the character, was a young girl. She is now in her mid-twenties! A wedding posy for a new "mother". Hadn't she had cried her eyes dry by now? There h...

Thoughts on writing stories that do not contain anyone with pointy ears (mostly). Wednesday, August 12, 2015. I'm drowning in notes! I am writing a term paper. An enormously daunting term paper for someone who is a pitilessly strict grader. That’s what it feels like sometime. What I’m really doing is research for a new historical novel for young readers set in Puritan Massachusetts in 1675. I plan to call it A Scalp on the Moon. As accurately as possible. Coming out in April, 2016) wrote: “. Anyone who r...
