Five Sisters: The Langhornes of Virginia

Once again, I have found myself pining for a book I find online.  This time it's Five Sisters: The Langhornes of Virginia.  I already have so many books that I keep promising myself I'm going to read and never do.  As you readers know, I am a massive history nerd and my powers of resistance are low. 
Out of all the interests one can have, I guess I should be grateful that one of them involves me developing my brain.

Blood, Brain, Jelly

I'm feeling pretty satisfied with myself right now, since I just finished doing some creative writing. 
Although the piece I have produced and worked on over the last three days is only a little over ten pages long, I feel really good about.  It's a solid first draft.  Hell, it's the kind of first draft that looks better than most people's final versions. 
It's fiction, which I haven't had time to write since March, so I'm feeling happy that I wrote something other than poetry.
And I decided to try something new and split the piece up into sections.  One of the sections was titled "Blood, Brain, Jelly," in reference to the things someone had on their shirt.  It's a great title.  
(The stories has two mysteries in it, so it's not that strange of a title.  Just a little quirky.)
