Like I'll Ever Get Any Writing Done!

[ithildin]

One of the problems when I'm setting to write something historical, is that I get sucked into the wonderful world of research. So much so, I never actually get around to writing anything [g]

Just a smattering of the places I've found:

British Women's Novels: A Reading List, 1775-1818

Regency Style Year-by-Year

Women & Power in Alta California

Early Modern Woman Database

Spanish Surname Practices

California Wildflower Index

A few minutes later: [wheezes from laughter] Death Rode a Pinto Pony (scroll down a wee bit)

And more later: bought this CD. I've been to a few Alta California dances, complete with period dress, and had a blast. Discovering there was a CD of the music was awesome!

That's just Eerie. I was planning as soon as I got done catching up on my lj reading to write something similar to this. My research is getting into a frenzy. It's partly the not getting around to writing anything, it's also the part where the research is adding a lot to my Plot (good thing) and taking it far beyond what I expected it to be (both good and bad).

I'll probably post it anyway. I just hadn't decided if I was going to lock it or not yet.
