I read it yesterday and either because i am selfish or self-disciplined i didn't comment straight away but went straight back to the 14th Century YA book i'm writing and tried to apply the pearls of wisdom you've given here! <br /><br />I particularly enjoyed your discussion of staying true to historical detail but how you might add/alter. <br />Although it'M Louise Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165271083632185438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488887316391780144.post-89682945112437233022011-07-04T21:47:57.800+01:002011-07-04T21:47:57.800+01:00I love historical fiction that has fact woven into...I love historical fiction that has fact woven into the narrative.

That's always been the case, hasn't it, stretching back in time from supporting roles in films through the commedia dell'arte. With your period and place and in the light of that comment on minor characters I have to ask whether when you write you use that distinction between "high" and "low" characters?Dan Hollowayhttp://danholloway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488887316391780144.post-59844041415319708432011-07-04T10:33:28.672+01:002011-07-04T10:33:28.672+01:00What a fascinating post.

I'm playing with an idea at the moment - a story I came across in New Zealand about a woman who was exiled to Australia and ended her days servicing gold prospectors in New Zealand. So I've copied and pasted this into my 'useful notes' folder. Thanks.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.com
