I'm on chapter 26 out of 33 for my first draft of The Trees Who Call Our Names and multiple times I've thought of something that needed to fixed/amended during editing. And instead of writing them down as I go, I keep THINKING that I need to write them down then forget to do that exact thing.

I remember some of them! Mostly mannerisms of characters that presented themselves as I've gotten closer to the ending and will help with developing dialogue. I've also realized a not necessarily BIG plot hole but an annoying one. Plus a possible second one.

LIZZY! LONG TIME NO READ!

For The Tress Who Call Our Names (such a long title, why did I do this), first to come to mind would be Austin. And that's because I made sure he has that Appalachian drawl that I love and miss.

The typical dropping g's and idioms my in laws don't understand such as the devil beatin' his wife. But also the nonsensical contractions like "wouldn't've" in place of 'would not have', "hafta" in place of "have to", and of course "y'all'd've" instead of 'you all would have'.

Gosh I love my accent. I had to give it to him.
