What a carry on!

So i've spent today doing research for the next chapter if my novel. My MC is getting married so i've been reading up on marriage customs to find out what would happen at the wedding but I've also been reading up on the wedding night.

I've never written a 'consummation' scene before so to get some ideas i turned to my phillipa gregory and alison weir historical fiction to get inspiration on how to write these type of scenes. What this has meant was going through the previously mentioned novels with a pile of post it notes and marking the relevant pages.Now that I have done that I am ready to write my chapter, either this evening or tomorrow.

I have also spent today following the chile miner rescue which has been given 24hr coverage on bbc news,and I have to say it is the greatest feeling knowing that they will all be rescued by tomorrow and hopefully by the end of the day.
