@TMarshallBunn I’m having to work my way around the fact that an imported item didn’t make its way to England until about 200 years after my book is set!

[Steve Dell @dellwrites]

How much slack to you give yourself when it comes to historical accuracy in your novel?

[Steve Dell @dellwrites]

@TMarshallBunn Wow. That wouldn’t work for me but I’m full of admiration for your attention to details like that. Sounds strangely enjoyable!

4K Cattle Yard - One Hour Ambient Sound and Video https://t.co/Tg8th2S0xH via @YouTube I’ve become a “method” writer. If I’m writing a chapter set in a field of cows, this is what I’m listening to in my headphones.

When writing your 1st draft of your novel, would you say you sketch, paint or chisel your creation into existence?

@ia_saari @klhicks912 Permission to use Moon Moon?

[Steve Dell @dellwrites]

My protagonist would probably want to own a borzoi - but would be envious of the admiring looks it got and either deflect that admiration onto himself but eventually get rid of the dog!

[Steve Dell @dellwrites]

If your protagonist had a dog, what breed dog would they have and how would they treat it?

What, if anything, do you listen to while you’re writing? This works for me at the moment…. https://t.co/eHD9rp51Uo via @YouTube

@TMarshallBunn Yeah, I hear you. I feel that as well as disappearing into my fictional world I’m also adopting, or trying on for size, the character traits of my main cast. Fun, but a bit too absorbing!

When you’re immersed in the world of the novel you’re writing, how are your real-life relationships?!!
