I haven't done much with this blog all month. Hey, even Jane Austen had a gap between her juvenile writing and her adult novels. Several years, actually. So what if I seem to be in the middle of a dry spell motivation wise. It may eventually pass.
After some deliberation, I did join an organization called Soldier's Angels, where I will be eventually writing letters to deployed soldiers. I signed up for a care package first and once I get that out I'll join the letter writing team. This may seem strange to those of you who know my feelings about war in general and this one in particular, but the people over there are still miles away from friends and family and in a bad situation.
Years ago I thought briefly about writing a book entitled what would jane austen do (then one came out anyway obviously not by me). These letters would have been something in that category. She wrote many letters to friends and family, and at least one of her brothers was in the navy.
If you are interested there are several sites available. I chose soldiersangels.com because one of the projects, called Ladies of Liberty, was developed in a womens studies class at a North Carolina university and focuses on supporting female soldiers.
