Congratulations to writing a WWII story! Y...Hi Kim,<br />Congratulations to writing a WWII story! Yes, feeling bogged down can happen easily. I have files and files of data and historical descriptions. Some made it into the book, some didn't. I read three books on Russian gulags because my grandfather, the protagonist's father, spent 9 years in one. None of the gulag information made it into the novel. <br /><br />I think the best advice I can give is to stick with the story. Write your story, make it exciting, make it deep and emotional. If you've researched the historical era ahead of time, much of what you read will flow into your narrative automatically. That's how the subconscious works. Best of luck! It sure was a fascinating time.Annette Oppenlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03778064352735171956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327658925024168181.post-3417710679633667922017-04-27T09:24:18.093-07:002017-04-27T09:24:18.093-07:00I'm very interested in this book.

It's a huge concern of mine! Thanks for the tour/book stop!

I'd be happy to answer your questions about this novel that took me 15 years to write and is based on my parents growing up as war children.
