I've obviously not been blogging. I guess that's a given, pretty obvious by my lack of posts.
I've been sucked into the eternal vortex known as . . . ancestry research.
Yes, I have.
Let me tell you . . . it's the biggest TIME THIEF . . . EVER!
I sit down for a few minutes and 4 or 5 hours will have passed. I think Hmm, maybe I'll just do one or two additions to the tree and the next thing I know, 2 hours have passed and I've done 20 additions to the tree.
So, that's where I've been . . . hanging out with dead people.
Okay, not literally, but still . . .
The interesting thing . . . the place of death for one of my relatives was the Tower of London. I'm not thinking that was a good thing. Just a thought. Ha!
The other interesting thing . . . I've got some neat names in my family history, which will come in handy when coming up with names for characters.
The other neat thing . . . I've come up for a new idea for a book in the mystery series because of all this research.
So, while I've been away from blogging, it hasn't been all that bad, and good things are coming of it, so, I guess, all in all . . . this ancestry research isn't such a bad thing after all. Okay, it's become a bit of an obsession, and I even dream about doing research (not a good thing), so I know I need to pull back just a bit and immerse myself further into my writing. S
