In it to win it, Carol Young, at St Meinrad’s Archabbey of Indiana where she finished final pages of a first draft of the non-fiction Pears for Breakfast: Raised by Wolves in Northern Indiana.
While there she also began to research and write the action thriller Meinrad’s Man set at the Abbey.
Dear reader, Please leave your comments, ideas and feedback. I would love to hear from you.
cheers & God bless, Carol
p.s. Here is what I aim for as to one of the many very cool creative chicks from my Catholic Church tradition, as well as a Midwestern literary folk hero of mine. Mark Twain once wrote about Joan of Arc, The Maid of Orléans, Jeanne d’Arc, Orléans in his book of her, “She was truthful when lying was the common speech of men; she was honest when honest was become a lost virtue; she was a keeper of promises when the keeping of a promise was expected of no one; … she was full of pity when a merciless cruelty was the rule; she was steadfast when stability was unknown, and honorable in an age which had forgotten what honor was; she was a rock of convictions in a time when men believed in nothing and scoffed at all things; she was unfailingly true in an age that was false to the core; … she was of a dauntless courage when hope and courage had perished in the hearts of her nation…” Mark Twain, Joan of Arc
I hope, one day, a friend can say even 1 statement heretofore about me.
