We need to do the research for our own veracity but only include what is absolutely necessary. That is what I have to decide on my latest story. I've needed to read so much about Afghanistan but how much to include is the question?<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-51663282267215524022011-11-15T10:37:54.823-07:002011-11-15T10:37:54.823-07:00I did the "too much" in my first draft. ...I did the "too much" in my first draft.

Happy you're feeling a bit better. <br /><br />Since I'm like a fly to honey when it comes to Medieval books, I bought what looked like an interesting book about a stonemason. About half way through, I couldn't take any more detail. Having said that, when we were in Vienna this summer what I had read helped greatly.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-61362145485985237932011-11-14T19:31:08.998-07:002011-11-14T19:31:08.998-07:00Nice to meet you Nick and thanks.
