RESEARCH SPIRAL
Nov. 23rd, 2014 10:26 pmWant to send me into a research spiral? Have me going over my character profiles since it's been more than a week since I picked them up and realizing I don't know what they wear in winter, and my book takes place during a Colorado winter.
Cue an hour and a half of googling trying to figure out not only what they should be wearing culturally (difficult, b/c they're both second-generation immigrants from very different climates), what they should be wearing given the Western/American influence, what they're be wearing considering they're both working class/teetering on the edge of damn poor, what materials would've been available, and whether they'd've purchased said winter clothing or made it.
ARGH.
( Mostly research venting )
All right, venting over. Maybe now I can actually get to the new plot, which is what I intended to work on today . . .
. . . unless I get snagged in another character detail. *sigh*
(It's such a good thing I love worldbuilding. Such a good thing.)
