If it wasn't for my hubby and critique partners dragging me screaming from the internet or books or some museum, I'd still be lost on some hunt for one more fact to include in my writing.S.

Like Anne Marie, I leave myself codes in my manuscript as I'm writing (XXX -- and then I just search for XXX at the end and try to answer all the questions).<br /><br />So, if you're looking for questions to answer, well, heck, it looks like we're a match made in heaven!Marcelle Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164965676254630066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-17350737626795908462014-08-22T09:40:20.906-07:002014-08-22T09:40:20.906-07:00How about this one Anne Marie?

I love that you got to let your inner nerd-girl run free. :)<br /><br />I usually make notes in big block print on my manuscript about things I have to research later, so I don't interrupt the flow. Usually, it's distances and locations for settings, but sometimes I get to research things like what kind of noise does an alligator make and what poison does a scorpion sting release, etc.<br /><br />I'll have to think about if I have any research items for you - I could use the help!

J Edgar kept a detailed record of such things and at some point after his demise it was decided to clear those names. There were some hick-ups. I had to keep checking. And. . .there could have been a couple of other things.

It’s really scary when you go to the FBI building and they say “Oh, yes we know who you are.” Or, you’re the only one in your circle of friends who even know where said building is. I had government web pages I used for research that are gone, boom-piff. Maybe we should have a research party and share links. Ha! That should generate some red flags.
