Something Old and Something New



Something Old and Something New




Something old …


After a nearly six months hiatus, I have again begun posting story elements on the HubPages platform. While I will always share with you the direct web address of each of my postings, you should also know, if you do not remember from earlier, that there is a “table of contents” to my posts related to “The Homeplace Saga” stories there, as well.


You can always check it out here: https://hubpages.com/@homeplaceseries


The latest posts come first, but scrolling down gets you to all of the other posts in the various sets of series I have written. I invite you to just scroll down, pick out a story, click on it, and enjoy the reading. Each are about 1250 words with three images. Your comments here or to me directly at billsmith2003@gmail.com are always welcome, of course. 


Something new …


As noted earlier, I’ve been wanting to create a new, modern character for this series that might become the central figure for a new prospective novel, working title “Aspirations.” The name of this lead character will be Quinn Weston. Yesterday, as you may have seen, on HubPages, I posted a Character Sketch on the Grandfather of Quinn Weston, to begin to share the family history of our lead character. This is the first of six character sketches that I will be sharing in this format. 


If you missed seeing it, you can review it here: http://hub.me/aoXuI


Comments are welcomed here or on Facebook.


I'll see you next week...

"May everyone have a Homeplace, if only in your mind."

  3 Things to Know This Week The Homeplace Saga Thing 1 I’ve been wanting to create a new, modern character for this series that might become the central figure for a new prospective novel, working title “Aspirations.” I want to share some of my thinking about this character and get your feedback, but I also want to be careful not to promise too much, that will have to be changed later on… The name of this lead character will be Quinn Weston. Born in about 1975, he would have been about 45 years old in 2020. While his paternal grandfather owned and operated the John Deere Dealership in Oak Springs in the mid-20th Century, Quinn himself is multi-ethnic, including Jewish, Latino, Black and Native America heritages. Of course, he is handsome and attractive to most women as well as men, he is also well educated and well spoken. He has aspirations. Will his extended family and friends support those aspirations? Thing 2 I am preparing a PDF file of the first ten episodes of the Heather G...
