It's fascinating, really, other than the fact that people go insane there. I have my theories. ;) Which of course, having my theories is how I came to have that novella!<br /><br />Anon L - wow, crazy exec director huh? As I said above, "crazy" goes along well with that region. Hee hee. Seriously, it is a very neat place, with hidden charms, too. And it is very beautiful, once you get to the historic area, on the waterfront. Tobacco was indeed big down there, too.LadyLitBlitzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876473101640676126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-1103299173558600812004-12-17T10:59:00.000-05:002004-12-17T10:59:00.000-05:00LadyLitBlitz- That's cool you went to St. Mary's. ...LadyLitBlitz- That's cool you went to St. Mary's. My crazy exec director taught American History there at some point or the other. Beautiful area. Godiah Spray is my favorite living history character (and we do a lot of living history where I work). I loved how he ascended the interior of the Tobacco House. Very Spidey. <br /><br />-LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-1103295684139797422004-12-17T10:01:00.000-05:002004-12-17T10:01:00.000-05:00I've been to the St. Mary's area once, on a weeken...I've been to the St. Mary's area once, on a weekend trip. So I'm only vaguely familiar with it.<br /><br />My novellas are also pretty fractured, and not as good as I had them built up in my mind. There are some pieces, though, that might be able to scavenge for other things if I can't get the novellas to work.Hebdomeroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156133463666500445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601263.post-1103248684947358052004-12-16T20:58:00.000-05:002004-12-16T20:58:00.000-05:00Thanks for this.

I happen to have (as I've mentioned ad nauseum) several unpublished novellas lying around. One of which is about St. Mary's, home of your Godiah Spray plantation. You're familiar with that area of Maryland? As I mentioned on my blog, I went to college there.<br /><br />Anyway, I fear the novella is unmarketable. I had a lot going on in it... a lot of weird stuff interthreading. Maybe I should work on it again and try (again) to get it published. Hmm...LadyLitBlitzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876473101640676126noreply@blogger.com
