corrielleI was up at 5:30 this morning so that I could get to my class in Sylmar at 7:30. My morning class is huge, and the room I'm in is cramped, though there are enough desks for everyone. Sylmar was covered in smoke that had blown in from the fire, and it was hard for me to breathe, and I'm usually not terribly affected by things like that. It was bad.
I did my notes for my Tuesday class tomorrow and made sure that I was on top of things there... no sense in letting that fall behind just because it isn't my only class any more.
Yesterday, I had a fun chat with a whole bunch of other lovely RH writers... but I put off working for my syllabus this morning and tore my hair out over it until far too late at night.
I set myself a goal of writing 1,000 words for my RH fic today, and after several hours of writing, I did it! It was a tough section... especially since I happen to care about historical accuracy and I was doing lightning-speed-research and fact checking as I went. The next chapter is a lot of action, so hopefully that will go more quickly.
Things I found out:
Does it snow in Nottingham? Yes!
Would a well-off woman in the late 1190's have a Book of Hours? No, but she might have had a Psalter.
How many t's in the RH2006 version of Will Scarlet(t)? Two.
What color are Will/Harry Lloyd's eyes? I don't know! I pulled up several different groups of screen shots, and they are either grey, blue, green, hazel, or brown depending on what he's wearing and the lighting. Pick an eye color, Will! In frustration, I rearranged my description so eye color isn't mentioned any more.
