Researching

I do love reseaching, but I'm the kind of person who will soon gets lost in the delights of research. Suddenly the 4 hours of writing I had planned ends up being disrupted because of research.

Today for instance, I started writing more of my latest manuscript, Woodland Daughter, but I had to stop to research more about the Boer War, which is featured in the book. Next thing I knew an hour had gone because I was engrossed in the battles fought, the maps of South Africa, the uniforms worn, the names of officers, etc.

To me, research is never a chore, I enjoy it, but I just need to find out how to get more hours in the day to cope with it.

Here's a great website I found while on my surf of discovery.

I'm exactly the same, Anne! I researched more into Mormon emigration on the weekend [one of my ancestors was a Pioneer Morman]. Trouble is, I got so carried away with it all that I forgot about writing for a long time.

Best Seller!

  So happy to see The Winter Widow a best seller in Amazon Australia Kindle!
