This Day in History, 1920: The Nineteenth Amendement

Eighty-five years ago today, the ratification of the nineteenth amendement to the United States Constitution was certified by the US Secretary of State, securing for American women the right to vote in all elections.

Novel Progress: Second Draft FINISHED at 115,000 Words

Just a few minutes ago, I finished my revisions to the novel. I ended up cutting a chunk, but the second draft is still a good sized book.

I'm hoping that this will be the end of it, and that it's good to go.

But at this point, I'm ready to take a break from the project again, and concentrate on some other, shorter work that has been waiting for my attention.
