Precisely 96 years ago today at 2:20 a.m., Titanic sank, ending the lives of more than 1,500 people. It's hard to believe that it has been almost a century since the disaster. When I was very young and learning about the ship for the first time, there were a few dozen survivors who were still alive. Today, there's only one.
While it may be the anniversary, it is simply another day for me. I'll probably write a little before the evening is over. Actually, since I've gotten back in the habit of writing, this blog is probably going to become a pretty desolate place. There's no sense coming here to write about Titanic when I can actually be adding words to the novel, is there? I've never been fond of journal-writing. It's really not my style.
In short, I will continue to write, but I probably won't continue to blog unless I get stumped and need a good distraction. Holding down a job, writing a novel, and writing a blog at the same time is just too much to handle at once.
I will probably take down the blog by the end of the month, unless I can think of a reason to keep it. Of course, I will continue to work on the story, but if you want to know how it's going, you'll have to ask!

I found your blog in a google search on the elevators in the Titanic. It's obvious you have a passion for the Titanic and have put many hours into researching the passengers and events surrounding that night. - I like your title "The life we knew"
I would like to know which particular passenger on the Titanic you felt most inspired by.
I hope you continue with your project.
