Writerly research

A few days ago I researched Cherokee rain dances; the day before, how to use a bow and arrow; the day before that, Girl Scout camp songs and food. In the last few weeks I’ve hit the internet and books to learn more about horses, Syria, the New York 9/11 Memorial, tents, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A writer quickly gets to know a little bit about a lot of things … research, at least for me, is one of the fun parts.

I wonder what the NSA thinks of me? *waves to NSA*
