When I started on my work-in-progress Shame of Kings, I saved links to all my sources. I discovered the Dabble app and website and posted everything there. It has been a huge benefit while writing and editing. Keeping all my sources has helped me include as many realistic details as possible while writing this novel.
About a month ago I decided to organize my sources into an alphabetical list and was surprised to see it was twelve pages long! I have done a lot of work on this project, but I am enjoying every part of it. I also think people should know the story of the Calusas. So I am posting it here, organized in MLA format. Check out some of the sources and learn a bit about the Calusas. Please let me know what you think.
