Huge milestone!

Alternative Muses

Today is a milestone! This is a bigger deal than my first wedding anniversary because book research is trickier than marriage. I’m using today to appreciate all I’ve accomplished instead of focusing on all there is left to do.

Yay!

ISSUE SIXTEEN [R]evolving Research: Achievement Unlocked

Posted on April 7, 2021 by maedez

I achieved a major milestone a couple of days ago! What is it? Thanks for asking. I finished cataloging the contents of J’s main scrapbook. Hallelujah! I’ve already added the relevant information to her Master Timeline. This means that I can move on to the next phase of research. Not sure what that is going to be, just yet. There are many, many options.

RESEARCH NOTES: WEEKS 23-24

VICTORY: Finally finishing the scrapbook project, obviously.
HAPPY DISCOVERY: I came across a marriage announcement (of sorts) for J and her husband R. Baby steps.
FRUSTRATION: I’m being spread very thin these days. Not enough time. The usual, right?
CURRENTLY READING: Lots of century-old newspaper clippings.
HOURS SPENT ON RESEARCH: Approximately 12, across two weeks.

Until next time!

From Dynasty to The Love Boat, Night Court, and Battle of the Network Stars, his charisma and acting ability lit up the small screen for decades. He will be missed. Geoffrey […]

Welcome to the 2019 Reel Infatuation Blogathon! Baby, If You’ve Ever Wondered: It still seems like yesterday that the idea for RI popped in my head.
