What would you guys think of...
August 30th 2007 01:50
An anthology of stories aimed at teenagers, written in historic periods-during the depression, the war of 1812 (which is outshone by the Napoleon wars but is cool because we burned down the white house), World War Two, that sort of thing-and aimed to make learning history more interesting, maybe even *fun*, while encouraging literacy.
I wanted to write something like that a while back. I'm thinking it would be a good thing to work on during the school year while I'm too busy to properly work on much in the way of novelling. My final edit of Moonshadow's Guardian will be done by October first and Jihad's next draft will be done by November first. After NaNoWriMo and National Novel Finishing month (more on that later), NaNoFiMo, I was thinking that starting in January I'd write one of these short stories and polish it up per month.
The way I figure, that means there might actually be an anthology out within the next couple of years, probably self published because anthologies are not easily published. It's something that I would like to do just because I'm fascinated by history. I'd also love to do a couple things in feudal Japan, maybe one in Egypt, and maybe a few in England or Scotland. Not just North America.
Thoughts?
