And now . . . about that WIP I promised, eh?
So . . . those of y'all who have been around me lately know that I'm currently into all things WWII. Like, really into it. Singing Vera Lynn songs and doing my hair in a victory roll. (I don't care what anyone says, it looks fine with a t-shirt.) I've been doing extensive research on weapons, battles, and small-scale tactics; reading memoirs and online articles; watching an old TV show; and hanging out with reenactors to talk about guns and stuff. (Lemme just say here and now, a Tommy gun is a dream to handle. Didn't actually get to shoot it, but it felt SO. GOOD. in my hands.)
All of this is for a purpose, and I promise I'll stop rambling. For now. 😜
Yes, I am working on a book. And this time I'm actually giving out some information ahead of time. Not a whole lot, because I don't want to give spoilers, and there aren't any settled dates yet. But *some*.
This WIP, titled We Gave Our Tomorrows (yes, there's a story behind that), follows a young American soldier (and his squad) through the Second World War in Europe. He doesn't land at D-Day - comes as a replacement later - but sees action from June 1944 to May 1945. Operation Cobra to V-E Day, Normandy to Germany.
I'll probably be posting updates as I get further along in the process. I'm currently in the middle of writing the first draft . . . I'm nearly up to the Ardennes Offensive (Battle of the Bulge), so about halfway through the war . . . ? It's actually been going pretty fast; I currently have 18 chapters and 38000 words. My goal is to get it written by the end of the year so that I have plenty of time for proofs and edits. Lord willing, I'm hoping to release it on May 8th, for the 80th anniversary of V-E Day.
I've made a new page for WIPs on my website, so that's where I'll be posting information about the story, as well as on here. Actually, you probably have a better chance of getting updates on this blog than on my website, because it's a lot easier to update. 🤭
Anybody care for a moodboard?
