An Original Story I'm Working On

 So, verecunda  has encouraged me to post more about this story I'm working on, which is a historical fiction story inspired by the ancient Roman eulogy known as the Laudatio Turiae! (I think eller  was also interested in it from when I posted about it a long time ago!) I'm thinking of trying to get it published eventually, so I wasn't sure it would be ok to post about it, but now I think it would probably be fine to do. If you haven't heard of the Laudatio Turiae, it's a really beautiful, moving eulogy written by a man about his wife which you can read here X. I think the first time I heard of it was when I was doing research for a paper for class, and I immediately thought it would make an interesting story! 

I originally tried to write it as a novel a while ago, but then I realized it would be more manageable as a shorter story (but maybe it can still turn into a novel!), and so I'm pretty much starting from scratch now and rethinking a lot about the storyline. The characters are still basically the same, though, and I honestly love both the main characters so much. I'm hopefully going to write from both of their POVs.

Also, I took an English class a while ago that had an exercise for getting to know your characters by writing a little scene of them going to the grocery store, and I'm thinking of doing something like that for my characters! Probably going to the forum, though, not the grocery store XD Maybe I'll share it here, too!!
