I still lean towards creative writing first, wold-building details second, but I can see the added detail that full-on research and thinking can provide.<br /><br />My next WIP will also need some detective work, so I may yet look to your blog for inspiration!John Krissilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683306221234743057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946974717629578289.post-17598839936687236022013-04-05T22:37:34.768-04:002013-04-05T22:37:34.768-04:00This is brilliant!

It is a LOT of work, and I deeply admire anyone brave enough to tackle it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517488783849807001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946974717629578289.post-88569632855339736052013-04-05T09:27:27.041-04:002013-04-05T09:27:27.041-04:00Great resources, thanks for sharing!

But for my WIP I've also been using a lot of online resources. You guessed it, I write Historical Fantasy because I love doing research ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946974717629578289.post-18383555327751005052013-04-04T22:16:15.270-04:002013-04-04T22:16:15.270-04:00Thank you so much for sharing your resources with ...Thank you so much for sharing your resources with us! :)Chris Allen-Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937725992799451053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6946974717629578289.post-31796342916423625152013-04-04T16:53:25.445-04:002013-04-04T16:53:25.445-04:00I am a bit of a museum freak--and reenactments, lo...I am a bit of a museum freak--and reenactments, love them. Gosh, this is getting me excited about summer coming. I don't get a lot of vacation time but my husband and I do a lot of day trips. I do tend to embarrass him a bit by asking weird writerly questions. But I love learning cool details.

I read one recently that was set in 17th century New England and the MC was eating a brown, wrinkled apple from the root cellar. Something we would NEVER do, but which they had to, in order to survive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
