Historical Movies
Since I just turned in my book, I've been in a movie-watching mood. I'm sort of distracted by catching up on episodes of True Blood right now, but after I finish those, I think I'm going on a historical movie binge. Last week, for my Fun Fridays contest, I asked you what your favorite historical movie was. I've seen a great majority of them, but some of them are brand-new to me, and I can't wait to get started.
It was interesting–one movie got probably 10x the response of any of the others...

Yum!
So I'm researching what kind of eggs my hero and heroine would eat for breakfast, and I came upon this:
He goes on to recommend not eating fruit at breakfast (you might feel "heavyish" all day!) and eggs–yuck! He doesn't want to have pullet-sperm in his stomach all day!
But cold pig's face? YUM!!! (He recommends eating it with French mustard and shallot vinegar.)
Okay, I've got to get back to my revisions. Just had to share. LOL.

On Deprivation
So I've been mired in this deadline for a couple of months now, and parts of my life have been sacrificed for the sake of this book. Probably the worst of it is that I see my family so infrequently that I feel like we're ships passing in the night. I haven't visited with my girlfriends in ages, and I'm horribly behind in emails/correspondence with all my friends and family who don't live close.
One thing I'm also missing out on is entertainment. My days are simple: Wake up, take kids to...

I've been doing a lot of research and learning a lot about the medicine of the time (remember, pus is a good thing! They wanted to see lots of nice, healthy pus! LOL!). Once I have a moment, I can't wait to post...
