| Re: How much research do you need?
Just more research, albeit involuntary, into archaic surgery. You are obviously a dedicated writer Brian. Bucephalus was Alexander's horse, he was absolutely crazy and apparently killed some of the people who tried to break him in. It turns out that he was afraid of the sun or some such madness.
I have decided to take up the pen again, the word 'daunting' has never been so apparent. I have some good ideas, a basic idea of the structure and style that I am going to adopt, and several characters in their early form. I hope that there is enough originallity to make the story stand out, as I am hoping to meld some current political themes into a fantasy backdrop. |
