Quick post before I head out on vacation for the rest of the week. In the last month I’ve been busy working on two different blog posts. The first was personal about big life changes, while the second took a look at some of my interests outside history (namely my love of reading). So here are the two links. I’m working on a few more posts before I head out to the 2011 National Preservation Conference in Buffalo at the end of October.
My first blog was for the Smithsonian Homespun Project where I talked about the act of Moving Out. Not an easy thing to do, but something that forces you to think about your past, present, and future. Check out You Can Take it With You here.
In a slight departure from my normal blog writing I recently wrote a post for a blog called Fangirl. In the post I try to look at what makes a up a strong female character. By no means a definitive recipe for success it was a great exercise in thinking about why I’m drawn to some books over others, and how dynamic and interesting female characters can be. Read my take on The Anatomy of a Strong Female Character on www.fangirlblog.com.
