Today I had the need to research Taxis in NYC in the 1920s. They had them.
And I found this rockin’ street scene photo, which seems to be NYC in the 20’s.
Talk about an atmospheric shot.

NaNoWriMo 2011!
I might be crazy, or I love setting myself up for failure, because I haven’t really planned the whole book out yet. I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year.
but win or lose if I plow ahead I’ll have more to edit than not.
Which is more than I can say for other projects I’ve tried.
Here’s for plowing ahead.
