Look, I've actually got a snippet for #WIPweds! (That doesn't always happen.) Today's word is "sharp," and this is from my current WIP, another Regency fantasy. #historicalromance #fantasyromance

What I'm Researching Today: Regency storage for clothing. Turns out that wardrobes weren't as common as I thought! #historicalromance wordwenches.typepad.com/word_wenches...

Regency Storagewordwenches.typepad.com How large would the (storage) wardrobe generally be for a lady of the ton? It depends.

Looking at #RomancingtheVote current stats and you can still talk to acclaimed and groundbreaking romance author Beverly Jenkins for $250, but her annotated book is clocking in at $1300? Seems like it should be the other way? #Romancelandia www.32auctions.com/organization...

What I'm researching tonight: Regency-era top hats. I wanted to know if they were made of silk. (No, that was a Victorian innovation.) regencygentleman.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/t...

It's Friday, and that means #FridayKiss! For this week's word, the best I could do was the leads from my werewolf romance in the middle of a big argument.

What I'm researching today: the age when people commonly need "reading glasses." Answer: 41-60 years old. In other words, about the age when I (a far-sighted person) needed progressive lenses for reading fine print!

Happy #FridayKiss day! I've got a longer snippet than usual today, from my sweet Regency Romance, DISCOVERY AT DOGWOOD COTTAGE.

What I'm researching today: Regency-era tea. (Yes, it's different from the teas we drink today!) www.teaformeplease.com/what-kind-of...

What Kind of Tea Do They Drink on Bridgerton? - Tea for Me Pleasewww.teaformeplease.com Netflix's Bridgerton series takes place in the Regency Era and the characters are often sipping tea. That got me thinking. What kind of tea are they drinking?

"The Duke of Bedworth was known for hosting exclusive entertainments, and tonight’s starlight ball was no exception. Instead of holding the ball at one of the assembly places in Town, the duke and duchess had invited the ton to their villa in Richmond." #WIPsnips #RegencyRomance

What I'm researching today: when is the lambing season in Britain? www.countryfile.com/go-outdoors/...

British lambing guide: when is the lambing season and best places to see lambswww.countryfile.com Our guide to the British lambing season, including when it takes place and where you can see lambs being born.

Walter Haworth, of my current WIP, is angry at the unknown criminal who defrauded an orphanage. But I don't know if it would be fair to say that the emotion of anger is driving his investigation of the crime. That might have more to do with his sense of justice. #LateNightWrite

#LateNightWrite We talked about pride last week. Tonight let's talk wrath. How often does anger or spite feature as a driving force in your stories, or as a personal motivation to write something into a story? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!

I'm not sure if this quite counts, but there's certainly snobbery and class-related prejudice. Some of the characters in my current WIP are "old money," having inherited landed estates, and some are "new money," used to having to work for a living. #LateNightWrite

#LateNightWrite Are there any long standing feuds or lasting resentments between certain groups of people in your setting? Do these conflicts bear any significance to the plot? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!

Great question. Hester may not *hate* anyone, but she's resentful of her former sweetheart, who jilted her for a wealthier bride, then left Hester in a scandalous scandalous situation. At this point, though, she controls her temper by entirely avoiding the ex. #LateNightWrite

#LateNightWrite Do your main characters hate anyone? Are they resentful or spiteful? How well are they able to control their temper? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!

Worst Ronin just received its second ⭐️ This book is so much about no longer craving institutional support and approval, but also I still like compliments so this ⭐️ is very well received. 🥷⚔️💨

okay. I guess I have to do this. Hello! I'm C. L. Polk. I'm a fantasy writer, and I'm here today to tell you that I need money. (oh god I need money) You can help! There's two main ways you can help - immediate cash now, investing in royalties later. Here we go!

Today I learned about the West Africa Squadron, whose mission was to catch slave traders after the 1807 Slave Trade Act. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Af...

West Africa Squadron - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

I've taken to keeping a copy of the 1662 BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER at my desk. It's very convenient for when I need to look up the wording for the marriage service or burial service. Could I look that up online? Of course, but it somehow seems more real in print. #historicalromance

Oh cool interim president of my uni who is only the interim president b/c the actual president was forced to resign sent an email saying faculty and staff who support student protestors will have their “roles and responsibilities reviewed.” Definitely no violations of academic freedom to see here.
