Outpost Mâvarin: Home Again: Part One
http://outmavarin.blogspot.com/2014/09/home-again-part-one.html
Welcome to my rants, essays, photos, etc., on a variety of subjects. Follow me to the country in my mind. Saturday, September 27, 2014. Home Again: Part One. Is it this house, where we've lived for about twenty years, only to frequently revisit the question of whether to fix it up or move to a better house? Is it Tucson, Arizona generally, where we've lived since 1986, after driving around the country looking for someplace it wasn't winter? This was me arranging my only sibling's funeral and burial.

Friday, June 13, 2014. I'm sure these things to know about your characters. Can be useful. Most are things I don't know until I get to them in the writing.
