One of the reasons why I love writing is because I get to
learn about so many different things. Research is a real thing, and I feel that
the more I write, the more I get to learn. Last November, for NaNoWriMo, I had
three separate books planned, which mean that in October, I was in full-blown
research mode. Here’s just a few things that I got to research while I was
preparing for NaNoWriMo:
Prosthetics (focusing on climbing prosthetics and materials)
How to play poker
Origin of Gargoyles
Native American Smoke Signals
Hunting techniques of foxes
How to escape quicksand
Types of screwdrivers
The Walking Dead TV show
Popular Bing Crosby songs
Pearl Diving
Sirens/Harpies
Prophecies
Climbing Competitions
It’s so much fun to research, and even more fun when you’re
able to apply it into your writing. I’ve fallen down several black holes of
research where I find such random and wonderful things to learn.
What are some of the things that you’ve had to research for
writing recently?
