TIL that the portrait of who we think of as Philip Hamilton is really that of his younger brother, William.

Ooh, looks nice! I'd try one.

My week-long Christmas vacation begins NOW!

Procrastinating finishing off this difficult chapter… because it’s difficult.

Well, I figured, what if he has visions that he tried to convey to them but even he can’t understand it and is terrified. I dunno if he mentally breaks out of it, least not immediately. Maybe an epilogue set months after the final battle showing him working on a farm, at peace? Showing he’s...

I think some of his friends would actually fight the idea of dragging him along. :P “He’s essentially a child now. We’re not dragging him into a war!” Honestly, that’s kinda half the conflict. The higher ups who believe in the prophecy want him to keep fighting. The other half wants to protect...

Chestnuts roastin' on an open fire...

I...accidentally lit some guy's electrical lightbulb on fire when we were doing luminaries...

*sobs in not being able to write coherent 1700s letters* But seriously though, yeah, the AI stuff should be its own thread.

Look, I’m just happy I feel like a writer because my brain organically comes up with the ideas rather than needing an AI to spoon feed it to me. Then it feels… fake, like I’m not even writing it.

Just got done researching the basics of British colonial government in North America, and provincial governments/committee of correspondence. In other words, Nathaniel Maywalker (the secretly loyalist consultant) is being told by the provincial government to please investigate Trumidal...

Ah damn, the word 'Tories' had become synonymous with 'stuck up old farts not interested in change' I'm guessing? Huh, I'm reading up on the different types of colonies that existed in America pre-Revolution. All this lore I'm learning. 😁 Amazing stuff...

It shall be done! Niiiice! I do have a memoir written by a young man who joined the Patriot army in 1775, not because he had any drive for the cause, but because he wanted something to do and his friends goaded him to join. Apparently he made a mark on the recruitment document and was all, ‘Oh...

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been working on my historical fiction on and off since 2008 and only now, ONLY NOW do I even bother to google (Colonial government in the Thirteen Colonies - Wikipedia) and figure out how the basic government was structured. -_- I surrender my history degree now. 🫠
