Doing a little Author research on......research
۞†Grey Warden†۞:
Im not looking for a standard answer to how authors research for their books but more a bunch of different things different people do. Interesting or weird things.
Snowleopard:
Explain different, interesting, and weird?
You mean things we do ourselves or ways we do research?
The Deposed King:
For my research I read several thousand sci-fi and fantasy books :P :P
That said. I also studied ancient history and especially ancient and current political organizations.
Then I went a watched a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy movies series ;D
Finally the time had come and I chained myself to the laptop until a book flowed out from under my hands.
