oh, dear.

I just spent more than an hour doing research online. What's worse, I think I'm actually going to have to go to the library and take out a book or two.

You have to understand, I'm not in school, and when I'm not in school, I don't do research. It's very simple.

So, how do all you lovely people who write historical AUs manage it without going crazy?

I've barely even started the thing, and it's already eating my brain. Heaven help us.

Girl With a Pearl Earring, a really lovely book by Tracy Chevalier, is being made into a movie, due to be released this December.
