Still Writing
I'm really kicking myself for starting this darn New Planeteers story. I still have a pretty clear view of where I'm going with the story, but the details are starting to really get to me.
In my first chapter, I had the character of Beatriz leave her home in Madrid, Spain. She eventually stopped once she reached a harbor. Um... I wasn't aware Madrid was a landlocked city. In fact, it's in the dead-center of the country. I had to do a little research, but her part of the story is now going to take place in Barcelona.
Then there's the character of Sanjay. Do you know how much research I had to do on Mumbai, India for the next couple of chapters? Let me put it this way: Mumbai used to be named Bombay, but they changed the name to Mumbai in 1997. Why? Because people who spoke the local languages Marathi and Gujarati were already calling it Mumbai. Oh yeah, and Marathi is one of the most commonly spoken languages in that city, not including Hindi, which the Bollywood film industry make all of their movies in. Despite Bombay changing its name to Mumbai, however, Bollywood refuses to change its name to Mollywood.
All that, and I was just trying to look up what language they spoke in Mumbai. I just happened to stumble on some tourist/city guide websites along the way.
And don't even get me started on my research on the Canadian justice system.
Stupid geographical, lingual, and legal accuracy.
By the way, you can read the first two chapters here. My goal is to finish this thing before May, so I can get started on my summer 'blockbuster' story.
Much Love |
