When uninspired, do research on the last project that interested you.
Which was frustrating on its own, because what I was researching didn’t appear to exist. Until I made myself step outside the train of thought, think tangentially, followed a different route, and discovered that it isn’t called what I logically expected it to be called.
Argh.
Also figured out that I’m going to have to set this book in Canada. Not a bad thing; just that unlike most of my other books, the idea for this one set itself in the US from the get-go. I can’t find enough information about the topic to comfortably set it in the States, though, so Canada it is.
Also, there is no chocolate in the house. This is ungood.
I live in the States. Maybe I can help?
there is much chocolate in our house. please feel free to liberate us of some of it whenever you crave.
Get Lady of the Dominion chocolate on way home. check!
HRH.
Bodhi: Unless you know something about the intricacies of New England music competitions, I’m thinking probably not, but you are a sweetheart to have offered!
Scarlet: ‘Liberate’ your chocolate? You have only to ask!
HRH: I love you. :)
You could try the lj community little_details for more about music competitions in New England! You’d be surprised the first-hand accounts and resources people can come up with :)
Curtana: I even have that LJ community bookmarked and it didn’t occur to me. Argh!
Well, I’ve gone and changed it in my brain now, and a Canadian setting will be easier in the long run. I’ll probably need to ping the community about the Canadian versions later on, though. Thanks for reminding me!
