Research
I have begun to do research for a new novel.
This one will begin in the 16th Century. I have a lot to learn. It is overwhelming but fun.
What always amazes me during this stage of getting ready for a novel is how willing to help people are.
Librarians and historians are bending over backwards to find information for me. It is truly remarkable.
In the last few days I have several e-mails full of scanned material from 1600 Century texts. Not the originals, I think reading 1600 Century Swedish writing would be more or less impossible.
But I take part of texts that have been rewritten on a typewriter and published in the early 20th Century. A lot easier for me and very interesting.
