For discussion today, let's talk a little about research. What is the most interesting/strange/terrifying thing you've ever had to look up for the sake of something you were writing?

I spent part of my day travelling so I haven't had any time to write, hopefully I can get a little something done this evening but the novelty of watching TV is winning.

The strangest and most interesting thing research wise was definetly the graveyards in Glasgow but I didn't get to use as much of it as I wanted to.

I've been traveling, so nothing doing with writing. I'm back and trying to settle in to my routine again, so hopefully something will happen. I may try to reread some of my back chapters in an attempt to remember what I was working on!

The most interesting research I did was trying to figure out how fast something floating on a stream/river would travel. I actually did the calculations myself by floating twigs and pieces of bark in a stream's current and timing it as it went past a certain point. It seemed to work in the story and was a fun exercise in creative thinking -- and had a nice walk with my son, who helped me the project.
