Unfortunately, I haven’t been as productive as I’d like, so not much got done in the way of writing. 

What I do have, however, is another potential project.  Historical fiction popped into my head the other day, and it certainly posed some interesting problems.  One: I love history, so narrowing it down to one time period would certainly be hard.  Two: I’d have to do research.  The amount of research would depend on which time period I go with.  Three: Knowing me, I’d get way to involved with the research, and not focus enough on getting the story out.

That being said, I could always attempt to ignore most of the research I’ve done, or do just enough research to get me through the first draft.  Tudor or Elizabethan England is definitely one of my choices, as is the American Civil War, something set in ancient Rome or Greece, and something set in medieval france.  Or possibly the early middle ages, or anthing set in the U.S. before the 1950’s. 

Right now, I’m leaning towards something set during Henry the 8th’s reign or something during Elizabeth the 1st’s reign because I have a few books on the time period, so researching the time period wouldn’t be too hard.    

I’ll definitely be doing some research, quite a bit, by the looks of it.  I may end up with a few novels to plan, by the looks of it, so it looks like I’ll have plenty of potential novels.

Historical fiction scares me a little, because it’s something I’ve never tried before, and it’d have to be detailed and at least somewhat well-researched.  On the other hand, it’s something new, and there’s no better time than NaNo to try something new.
