I was so pleased to read this, as it's exactly what I'll be talking about next week and I'm very reassured to know I'm not a one-off nerd for doing lots of research. Phew!

They go into a lot of detail on daily life - housing, food, clothing, social processes, etc. <br />Next time I visit the storage unit I'll see if I can locate them and post the name/publisher here.steeleweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077739629921574784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-13955207927714813662009-11-04T17:14:36.482+00:002009-11-04T17:14:36.482+00:00Michelle, sorry if this sounds too nosy but how on...Michelle, sorry if this sounds too nosy but how on earth did you fund such a wonderful and exciting research trip? Publishers don't pay much for most novels, not when you take "having to live" out of the sum. Do you have another job other than writing? <br /><br />btw the trip sounds as if it was really great & useful experience!Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-11003379633277475382009-11-04T17:03:26.672+00:002009-11-04T17:03:26.672+00:00I figured a lot of research went into the Viking b...I figured a lot of research went into the Viking book (which is awesome!), but I never realised that much.

I can't even imagine going to such lengths for a book... to be so sure that I'd write it, that I would undertake such a trip, invest so much in it.<br /><br />I feel like the man who buys garage flowers for his wife on Valentine's day, who glances across the road to see a suspiciously Rolls Royce shaped parcel done up with ribbon outside his neighbour's house.<br /><br />My novel: "You got my research from WIKIPEDIA!
