As I was saying, my post-NaNo resolution this year is to write more--daily. I plan to spend at least an hour per day writing...and/or doing research for my novel. I'm really excited about this one. It's an idea I came up with five or six years ago. Today I spent time learning about making swords and the difference between European swords and Japanese katana. I also learned that swords were a weapon of last resort and not one of primary use. My next novel includes quite a bit of sword making and sword fighting, so I need all the books I can find on sword play and swordsmanship and blacksmithing. Movies might also be nice. I know I was watching quite a bit of Inuyasha when I had the dream that gave me the idea for the trilogy. Oh, yeah, did I mention this was going to be a trilogy? Yep. It'll be my first. Today I found a few good sources online that have a recommended reading list. I checked out my local library and discovered that the search functionality is not quite what I had hoped it would be, which is a shame. I'll have to bring that up to the right person at the right time.
Speaking of which, I have a job interview next Tuesday. Wish me luck!
