Research All Day

Today I spent researching medieval Europe. Oh, what fun. **sigh** There are reasons I swore I'd never write historicals. And then when this fantasy jumped out and bit me... now there are reasons I swear I'll never write another fantasy.

But, now I've got a fair amount of the research done, so maybe I will. Who knows.

However, I did accomplish my aim. I was stuck because I didn't have words for stuff. The first scene starts with the hero walking into the king's presence. What is the hero wearing? What rank is he in the military? What are the ranks of his subordinates? Where does he live? What does the great hall look like? etc.

I know I'm not historically accurate, but I'm close enough to make myself happy. So maybe I can actually get to work on the blasted book.
