I am slightly ashamed at myself for this but...!
I was wondering if anyone started out writing hist fic and switched on account of all the research. It feels like twice the task sometimes. Also, I have learned some interesting things but then there's all the detail that has to be right.
I've got one novel that's about half done and had really good ideas for a couple of others but now wondering about crossing over into different territory. I wasn't trying to write in Philippa Gregory type detail but I feel it's really important to have the background correct.
I'd like to get something published no matter how minor but perhaps a whole historical novel was too much to do. It seems like I can write loads but then research is all stop-start and is this right etc etc.
just wondered if anyone else had this.
