BOOM! Therein lies the actual issue/drama with her and it's the premise of Dr. Thorne's book and why the family is scared and doing all these plans to block him out.

In short, Nora was so young when her husband died, so was their son -- the idea was the regency would end at his 16th birthday....but as that approached, it was always something new - school, economy, global unrest...it kinda just didn't happen and people, not really paying too much attention to things like the constitution and regencies -- kinda "grandmothered" her into it -- and now, several generations later, people don't know anything other than her -- except the academics and historians. There are even several politicians who call her a usurper and think she has created a constitutional crisis that undermines the entire monarchy. Many believes that she is a danger to the theory of divine right and the family's legitimacy -- thus the name of Dr. Thorne's book.

The expanse of space,

should be explored at one's own pace,

in order to obtain the title of ace.

A right none can strip,

proof of trip,

shown with a single rip.

Without fear of demotion,

excitement as the only emotion,

But there had been a HEFTY cost. 

“She deserves to be something so much more than a footnote.”

It had been on her mind since Stark’s FUNERAL. Of course she grieved for him, for his family. But it felt wrong that the whole world worshipped him, and they seemed to forget about Natasha. 

OK!

My most memorable christmas gift when I was a kid was the year my brother and I got popup tents. We lived in those tents in the living room until like the middle of January. I think I also got an EZ Bake oven that year and tried to use it to cook bacon. That year was so fun.

And my Christmas tree is small this year, and multicolored, because I have a 4 year old who likes to climb things he shouldn't and who loved every color imaginable. He's very creative, and very sneaky. So I got a little tree and put it on top of a table where he can't easily climb. But he loves it. He loves to stare at it at night and always asks me to sing him Christmas songs.

🎁 What writing advice would you give a beginner writer? 

  Okee, I’m kinda sorta a beginner(ish) writer myself, but in terms of advice, I’d say to just write. You don’t need to travel. You don’t need to take classes. You don’t need to expect what you write to be “good.” Just vomit the words onto the paper. Even if it isn’t a WIP. You got an idea? Write it down. It’s called practise, and it comes in handy. 

📝Post the last sentence you wrote! 

  Okay, since when do I *only* put one sentence of anything I write? Here goes. 

  I hear a muffled thump coming from downstairs. My first assumption is that Joji is hurling himself at the couch again, when I remember that he came into my room earlier. I hear the thump again, and I reach for my crutch. I’m on the landing when I hear the front door open and shut. I freeze, suddenly afraid to go downstairs. That’s when I notice the acrid scent of smoke in the air. 

  I shout to wake up mom and Ryan, and I slide down the stairs on my backside. I hobble through the kitchen and I see that our living room has gone up in flames. I can feel the air getting hotter as our possessions are consumed. I’m about to turn and run when my eye catches something. Dad’s photo. Something in my brain clicks, and any common sense that I may have had flies out the window. 

  I dash into the living room just as Ryan comes into the kitchen with Matt on his heels. I hear Matt scream my name, but I barely hear him. I must get that photograph.
