okay so
HAH it's been a long time since I posted . . . mostly that's because I've had my head stuck in my railroading research. Four volumes on train technology in the nineteenth century, that are well-written, understandable by a layperson, and in-depth? It's like research Christmas.
It's also like Christmas because it's lasting longer than I could've guessed. Like, well over a month at this point and I still have two volumes to get through! But I'm nearly finished with the most relevant volume for the book. But it's just so much fun!
My latent engineer and history geek have been showing through in a big way with these books. 'Course I've also got a couple of social science volumes coming in, and have been really enjoying a few other books.
There's also a boatload of editing to do on The Novel, but I've been very very distracted by fun research. I'll check back in later!
