Sample Saturday - postponed

Last Thursday night the Pacific Northwest had a big windstorm . Rain, sleet, seventy mile an hour winds. Like more than a million of our neighbors we've been without power. Again like most of our neighbors, we are ill-prepared for life without electricity. No heat, no lights, no internet. No computer. Horrors! And no reading, except during the brief daylight hours when firewood must be laid in and all chores done.

No wonder millions of pioneer women didn't writer novels. I'm amazed any of them found time to write a journal.
