Look over here. No, no. Over there
I was chatting with a cousin this week and we found that some of our genealogical information had gotten an odd bit of detail thrown into it that may end up doing away with one of our basic assumptions about some ancestors' voyage to the U.S. I was thinking about how that sort of thing could liven up a novel. I have a partially finished manuscript that I need to drag out and work on at some point. Having my main character's background diverted to another whole geographical location might be just the thing I need to inject some fun and energy into into a stalled work in progress. There really is inspriration for stories in every corner of life.
