Chronological Listing of The Diego Diaries, Part One
A reader asked that I try to make a chronological list of events in the story so I am. This is a listing of the big events. I have the segments that they appear in to start them but may include more with that one because they continue the event.
The reader wanted a list to refer back to when the story speaks about prior events. It's so long, they want a reference list. So do I. :D I am finished editing Diego Diaries and will replace all 159 segments hopefully in the next two days. Thank you, readers. HUGS!
