SoWal...the book

[DBOldford]

Just want all of you to know that I am keeping these posts as ideas. This is the brainstorming phase of the project, where no idea is rejected. I'm vascilating between having the book non-fiction vs. a fictional account that includes some key occurrences and loosely drawn characters. Another idea is a format much like a scrapbook, with photos and local art and recipes, profiles of some beach characters, and descriptions of some turning point events in the history of South Walton. I can't leave out some tales of the North County, because much of the history of SoWal is based on that area and its long-time residents.

Oh, and how could I forget...the dogs of Grayton and its suburbs! Miss Kitty, tell your gorgeous Mollie to get ready for her closeup! :rofl:

How exciting!!! Donna, really like the scrapbook format you mentioned. Would love to read some interesting, humorous stories of things that have happened down here!! Lots of little vignettes....and "did you know" tidbits, maybe....also recipes would be great, photos! Will be happy to share as I get inspired and remember some things or as I hear them....I've gifted several friends with THE WAY WE WERE and it's always a hit!! Sooooo glad you are inspired to do this....terrific!!! :clap_1:
