I just got through writing almost 2,000 words on the Free State of Jones County for a friend. He wanted background for a character in an RPG he plays, so I gave him that with food on top. The FSJ is one of my favorite topics in history. I haven't seen the movie but here is an excellent book on the topic by Victoria Bynum.
So I wrote a lot and did a lot of research and had me a real good time. So, of course, my hands hurt and I have a throbbing headache, and quite frankly, I think I've done my 500 words. Let this be known, if you want background on a character, I'm good at that. Drop me a line.
In any event, I've put the results of my research - sans anything directly connected to my friend or his character - below the jump. This isn't an exhaustive dissertation, of course, more of an article-type deal. What all this means is I might come back to write later this evening but I really doubt it.
So, there you go. More below the jump, as they say.
