The first few drafts I wrote around the only landmarks I could remember from playing the Oregon Trail computer game obsessively as a kid. Yep, I did you not. <br /><br />Then I got serious and spent a LOT of time at libraries, museums, looking at photos, doing interviews, and reading everything I could about the Oregon Trail, so I could portray their journey in an accurate manner.<br /><br />So far, it seems to have worked out because I've only gotten one comment from a reader about something being historically inaccurate. <br /><br />Now if my current book would cooperate I'd be a happy lady! :)<br /><br />Christi Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-49035600358617600752014-07-20T14:18:34.382-05:002014-07-20T14:18:34.382-05:00No hand-holding, Rachel and I just sat there while...No hand-holding, Rachel and I just sat there while Dad balanced us.

Would you two hold hands for balance or did your Dad just hold you in his hands? Also, did your Mom know he did this? :)<br /><br />Christi<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-64819628473263770752014-07-18T14:37:13.949-05:002014-07-18T14:37:13.949-05:00Florence,

We could wander the streets of New York City together and then people watch and write stories about them.<br /><br />Christi Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-69705201596445773682014-07-18T14:23:05.883-05:002014-07-18T14:23:05.883-05:00:D Love how you describe your novel.

Also...I think your three words fit you perfectly!!! Also, I have a similar memory of my Dad! Only in our case, Dad was holding Rachel sitting in the palm of one hand, and me sitting in the palm of the other (we were literally just old enough to balance upright the first time he did this, so too young to remember, and he did it until we were 4-5) and he would lift us until we bumped our heads on the ceiling. It was an awesome perspective from up there.Artemis Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849091563671031929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-4895119997633002062014-07-18T12:48:40.398-05:002014-07-18T12:48:40.398-05:00Christi, a very insightful post and an insight int...Christi, a very insightful post and an insight into a few things I didn't know about you as well.
