I have an embarrassing pile of books I've bought thinking I'd immerse myself in whatever it was the character did or was interested in... Only to pull one or two tiny details I could've got in the bookstore or better at a library.<br /><br />But now I have books on massage and the healing power of crystals and numerology and tarot card reading and Japanese sword fighting and lots of things like that...Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-11867581631215208232010-05-18T13:17:48.728-04:002010-05-18T13:17:48.728-04:00Great, great suggestions.

But blogs lend you the vernacular and authentic details and they also give you a chance to ask a specific question. I used a bunch for a calving scene in my latest WIP - <br /><br />I'm going to find the one I used and post it - great blog, Eileen. We can become our own blog library...Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-5058255765745348842010-05-18T08:54:04.106-04:002010-05-18T08:54:04.106-04:00It's not just me!
