I am back in the home office writing this week. I got off to a slow start this morning due to some other tasks that I needed to address but I did manage a substantial writing session in the afternoon. By the time I took my daughter to soccer practice at 6:00pm I had churned out just under 2500 words in chapter one.
As I mentioned in a previous post in this series, my first drafts are pretty rough. I just dump my research into the document, writing as if I am telling a story to my kids. The real “writing” takes place during the many editing sessions.
Today I wrote about Elias Boudinot’s argument for a national Bible society and his response to objections from the Philadelphia Bible Society. There are a lot of interesting characters who appear in this chapter, including Benjamin Rush, William White, John Caldwell (son of patriotic parson James Caldwell), Jedidiah Morse, and Samuel Mills.
Stay tuned.
