Falling Down the Research Rabbit Hole—Again — 4 Comments

  1. Hi Maria!

    Need another research rabbit hole? You mentioned Archery – I’ve got a cousin who SPECIALIZES in Archery, J.W. Elliot. He has an ongoing series of emails “the most egregious archery errors in movies & litereature” and I think even a writers guide to archery.

    Here’s his website.
    Have fun in the hole.

  2. Bless your heart. I like hearing your story. It made me laugh. I’ve done the same thing and am glad to see that I am not alone. Search on, my friend, search on. When next I read a story and see something you have mentioned above, I will remember your search as you verified or justified your facts. I appreciate that about you.

  3. It looks like your muse will have to cook dinner tonight then as it’s her fault you had no time to find a suitable recipe! Good luck with that! Love all your research ??
    (I can believe the number of tabs you have open, I have the same type of problem when attempting to declutter! I drag out the contents of a cupboard and find something which needs more examination – and necessitates me searching in another cupboard with a cup of coffee to help with the process. Then ends with me shoving everything back in for another day!) ?

  4. What’s not to love about research rabbit holes? (But I feel your pain) I am especially grateful for authors who care enough about their craft not only to write interesting stories, but to dig deeply so that they don’t kick me right out of the story with egregious cultural, social, temporal errors. (Don’t get me started on grammatical errors). Thank you for caring and sharing so generously.
