So, being bored on the internet the other day, I remembered the little details lj community, and have started keeping an eye on that again. I love so much, I learn all sorts of fun things, and they're FAST at awesome answers. And sometimes I can even help. :)
Also, a recent post about secret underground tunnels got me iiiitching to write a story including one. (Random baseless angst last night led me to start writing a scene, which doesn't have one but has an abandoned run-down house at least. I realised I need to get back to writing and/or music, because they're better conduits for releasing heavier emotions, particularly upset ones, than the computer-art I've been focused on lately.)

Anyway, my point was, I found this post which is particularly relelvent to me, as I have a habit of writing in the past. The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series. (I'm making a note as much for myself as anything, so I have the title with me when I'm at the library next. XD) Looks FANTASTIC, omFg, there's a book on basically any era I'd like to be writing in.

Also via that post, I found The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life, which's far less comprehensive but a bit more price-possible at $20/book, rather than $50. These are on Amazon, and I think I want the 1800s one. <333 And probably the Regency/Victorian one as well, as I seem to wind up in that time period an awful lot. I can't begin to count the number of times I've scoured the internet for hours on trying to get cultural details of a particular time period... though that method does usually turn up some pretty interesting things, hee. And there are some amazing sites out there on the Victorian era, particularly in england - Victorian London is pretty phenomenal.

I've missed writing. I'm not sure I'm quite ready to shift back into a writing-phase, but I've missed it, and if I can sort out who on earth this character is I put into last night's scene, I might run with that awhile.

Or do something with secret tunnels. <333
