Most years when I do these Remembrance Day posts, I've usually learned about the stories before I start writing about them. I'll usually know most of what I want to say and then I put it all to e-pen with some notes and details as I go.
This year, I'm pretty much going in blind. I'm writing the write-up AS I research it. This is not the most efficient means to do this.
Still, won't lie, I never knew these stories before and I'm glad I know about them now. With that in mind, the late writing nights will always be worth it . . .
