The initial part of my job steampunk is set in Scotland and then England in 1890, then expected to reach Germany and the Middle East. The usually guarantees me a certain freedom fiction (it is not a historical novel), but in some cases I wanted to be as close as possible to real events (and characters who really existed) and to places not only plausible but real. This has led to a search of information which I can not see the end.
me give an example?
I could write:
confirmed the boy to learn the ancient Egyptian.
may suffice. Was enough. Now I'm at a point where certain things are not over and I'm happy I changed the sentence in a joke:
"I also read the Dictionnaire en écriture Egyptien hiéroglyphique Jean-François Champollion."
It's a different effect, better. But requires a bit 'more effort (time). I had to study a map of London in 1890 to understand in which area (and in what way) would happen a certain fact. So when the protagonists flee, taking Kingsland Road, proceeding south to the Thames . Among other things (and for the record), Kingsland Road no longer exists. This
to explain that what I'm working on requires more time to spend in finding information in writing what happens. Immediately on arrival at the heart of the matter because it would be something that would bring more flavor to the narrative. I did not find news about the uniform of the students of Gonville and Caius College in 1890 Cambrindge : somebody knows something (as a reward there is a quotation in the acknowledgments of the work)?
