Jumping Back into Writing
Over a year ago I thought I was moving and packed up most of my books. Now I'm finally in my new home and slowly unpacking as I manage various contractors to bring the house up to safety and comfortable living standards. Although I kept my notes and some research papers, most of my research books were among the things in storage. I'm so happy to be reunited with all the reference material I managed to collect while I was in Italy doing research.
I love working in a fictional world because while historians may disagree and try to prove their point to colleagues I can pick what is most useful to further the story and go from there. Tonight, for example, I went through the catalog of Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra which is Argolicus' home in the story. I went through room by room, thought about the garden where his tutor Nikolaus grows herbs. What a pleasure to dive in to the story again.
