I'm trying not to let insecurities drag me down at the moment. They are definitely there, lurking and ready to pounce, but I keep pushing them away and trying not to let them get hold and knock my confidence which also feels a little fragile at the minute, so I am not going to talk about them anymore today.
What is the weirdest/coolest thing you ever had to research for your story?
I guess one person's weird is another's normal in the case of research! It depends what you are writing about and for who. A lot of my research centres around folklore and myth - and some of that can lead to some interesting reading.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope the insecurities are few and far between this month.

Myths are always fascinating. They started from a kernel of truth somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHope those insecurities keep away Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Yvonne.
Stay strong. You can do this. :-)

Oooh... REsearching folklore and myth can be so much fun, I almost forget about the story I'm writing (along with my family). I can spend days researching that topic.
ReplyDeleteI used to love researching myths. Now I'm more interested in facts--why does this law of physics work? How would it apply in a submarine? Space? Alternate universe?
ReplyDeleteI hate those lurking insecurities -
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love researching myths and legends - they're one of my favourite sources of inspiration. Hope you don't let your insecurities get you down - you can do it!
ReplyDeleteMyths are always fun, got a lot in my head now
ReplyDeleteI've always been interested in myths, but I haven't used them in my writing in any way yet. Maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteFolklore and myth give so many insights into our cultures. Researching that would be immensely interesting.
ReplyDeleteFolkore and myth are more of my "usual" research, too and they do make for some interesting reading.
ReplyDeleteHappy writing in May!
A lot of my own research is centered on folklore and mythology, too. Easily some of my favorite things to read about!
ReplyDeleteSo true, what I may think is weird is normal to another person.
ReplyDeleteWe've got to be careful about believing the lies and myths we tell ourselves. IF only we knew they were lies. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job at keeping the doubts away where they belong, Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteYour topic would be fun to research. I hope things perk up soon! I really agree with T. Powell Coltrin's comment.
