New Ideas - by KT Chen

One of my history classes supplied me with a syllabus, and I have been hard at work reading through the books assigned for the first week and starting the second week's material.  (Classes don't start for another week yet, so I'm ahead.  For now).

The history class covers colonial history (1500's) through Reconstruction (1877).  

I *love* this era of history.  

The first week's readings were a crawl.  Lots of information about space and how the Native Americans and the colonists had very differing views of space and its use.  It was interesting, but dry.  Sahara Desert dry.

The second week (so far) has been about the relationships the Native Americans had with the various colonial entities (Spain, England, and France).  More my speed and it was much faster to read.

Of course, now I'm circling back to the historical fiction story I've been kicking around for ages.  The reading has given me some new facts and a few ideas.

​Go forth and write!

    I write about writing, working out, my dog, being deaf, and anything else I find of interest.

    I post on Mondays, before 9 AM.
