I keep going down the Welsh folklore rabbit hole. It’s not entirely relevant to my story, but it’s so interesting. #WriteLife #ResearchRabbithole
Me: researching how to get my book distributed to libraries.

Went down a very fun #ResearchRabbitHole today for my #Sherlockianseries You just never know what you will turn up looking for one thing and finding another.
Writers know research can get interesting. 😅
Today I bounced from Corcoran Prison to famous bank robberies to wedding cake flavors, napkin folding, and unique wedding dresses.
My browser is very confused 😂

I spent time reading docs on counterinsurgencies. Dry, dense… and dripping with the quiet ways governments erase dissent.
This is the “stuff” people skip. And the stuff that scares me most.

Day 10:
I Googled “how long does it take to fall in love” and ended up reading about Victorian courtship rituals. Now there’s a butler subplot.

I should just call my next book Stories about Stuff I Don’t Know Every Single Thing About. Then I might get it done. #researchrabbithole #amwriting
