Victoria Reigns!

Or at least her style does.

I've decided that my little ladies, Franny and Roxie, will be from the Victorian era. Late 1890's, early 1900's. One of them will be spending the summer at a health resort for some incredulous disease. The other will be amidst the murder and rely on her companion to help her solve it.

I've discovered some very helpful links. The next few posts will be going over these links more in depth.

I'll start with this link though. I found it to be quite interesting. Despite the interesting cryptogram letters, which I won't be using, I was struck by the use of ribbon in the paper itself. Its something to consider when I start working on the form.

The Critique

After much deliberation and anticipation, the results are in!!

I need to do more work.

But I knew that. The good news is that I'm heading in the right direction. I need to flesh out the characters more. The plot is there, but needs a little more elaboration.

The bad news? Now I have a whole bunch more to think about. Its not really bad, its just more. Now I have to think about how I'm going to present the final. How I'm going to format the letter. So much to think about.

I think my next step is to start researching Victorian letter writing.
