Not much work done lately

I haven't had a chance to do much work lately, i've been thinking more and more about this piece and getting more and more excited about it. I rarely feel this compelled to write and do the research.

I recieved a bibliography, from my Latvian professor, of books and resources I might find useful in writing the scenes in Latvia. I've also done a preliminary interview with my mom, i will definately need to do some more interviewing/research. I've just got to get my tushy over to the UW library! I also might try to make some connections on the web; i know there is a sort of Latvian "myspace" out there.

I had an ephiphany the other day. I need to flesh out the family and the lives generally of my characters. Even if i don't write about that aspect of them, i need to know it so their interactions are more realistic.

That's about all I have today. So not much progress, but still excited.
