I could not have imagined the path I would travel when I first began to write. I have met wonderful people and I learn new things every day. I love facts and have often joked that my brain is stuffed full of useless information. Turns out it is damn handy.
Many times, I have been inspired to incorporate a reference to a Greek god or goddess, or the legend of a skilled Irish pirate queen. My stories have spurred me to research medieval living conditions, county plats of surveys from the 1890s, and details of the AK-47.
What have you learned from your writing?

For sure, like how to skin and cook a rabbit (poor little rabbit) or how to recognize plants that are appropriate to eat and useful for heal ing. It’s actually been very interesting. π

Mm, rabbit is very tasty, and I love growing all kinds of plants, I can imagine that sort of knowledge being very useful even before the apocalypse. That is so cool. π
