Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
( You guys, this is so me. )
And now for some info about my three possible NaNoWriMo novel ideas. I really don't know which one to go with, which may be a good or bad thing. It might just be that I find all three equally interesting or that they're all equally uninteresting. We'll see.
( The ideas in detail )
I will admit that the medieval romance novel was born out of the fact that all the other medieval romance novels are so poorly written. I'm not even joking. So anachronistic it's disgusting and very cliché. I mean, I can get the desire to have medieval romances be fairy tales, but there's also a lot to be said for medieval people acting like medieval people and not storybook characters in trews. I'd like some recognition of the fact that these knights had their squires scouring out their armor with urine and sand, you know?
So, now the poll.
[Poll #1279562]
When I started writing this entry, it was supposed to be about costume plans for CC28, which is going to be in Milwaukee. I can do Milwaukee! But somehow NaNo took over. So, another post? Maybe. I think I might actually go to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.
*Did you guys know that Edward I had in excess of fifteen children? Seriously, like 19 kids, 16 of which were with Eleanor of Castile.
