What's yours?
My current WIP is currently making me feel more like a historian, and less than a novelist each day. Just when I think I've got my history straight, a different historian makes me realise I've got my legions in the wrong place.
Anyway, so far my research is consisting of:
- The Bar Kokhba Revolt itself (and archaeology);
- Jewish History (especially the First Revolt);
- Jewish Culture;
- Structure of the Roman Army;
- What is life like as a soldier;
- Geography of Israel and Syria, and what did it look like in 2nd century CE.
I've come to the decision that this is going to be the most difficult book yet. Should I be enjoying the research this much?
