SoWal...the book

[kathydwells]

Darlene...I only read ONE book and started another!!!! In the old days, I would read like 11 books in two weeks! Now that my nest is empty, I don't have to binge read!!!

It is so good to have you back! :clap_1:

Oh, ok. I gotcha!!! It is so good to be back to somewhat "normalcy". It is funny what life throws at you sometimes, and it is amazing how the body can function with little or no sleep and very little nourishment if it has too. It was a rough couple of weeks, but now I am back and ready to rock and roll again!!!!

The stories you've relayed to us are great because they are personal. Keep them downhome and feel free to embellish. Or just make ^#*$ up.

Some short interviews with local characters would be good and help thicken it if needed. You can do this by correspondence if necessary by sending a few questions.

Make humor the common theme.

You need a chapter about "Josh Wogan". :funn:

Yahoo, Donna!!!! This is sooooooooo exciting!!!!! :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Area folklore, ghost stories, mysteries, most unforgettable characters, etc. I just loved your Christmas story. And, your nature descriptions! Oh man, I can hardly wait!!!!!! :clap_1:

I agree with Kurt. I have met and talked to several wonderful gentlemen who have so much to share about Sowal. They remember sowal 50-60+ years ago and they have a lot of humor! These memories will be gone if not written down. You make us proud Donna!

:clap_1: Luv it. I've enjoyed all your stories in the past and would buy the book in a heartbeat. I can already picture it on the front table at Sundog. I remember when I first discovered the area there just wasn't/isn't alot documented. This would be a wonderful opportunity to share past history, fun stories and memories from locals and past locals. I like the idea of showing the progression and growth of Sowal. There used to be talk of lack of community when I first joined the board just a little over a year ago. Notice no one ever mentions that anymore. Sowal.com has brought so many people together.
Old pictures collected from old timers would be great. I love to see and hear what it used to be like. Good luck and happy writing!!!
