That's so awesome Brandiwyn🎶 ! I did miss the part where your protagonist was millennia old, but I love extremely-long-lived characters. I love thinking about what the impact will be of living that long, on your morals, outlook on life and general sanity.

Anyway, I find I'm doing a lot more researching than writing the assignments atm as well. What kind of scarves are there and how are they made with which materials? What kind of personality types are there (that's a research pit, let me tell you!)? What type of castles are there? etcetcetc

It's probably better to have researched a lot as prep instead having to stop writing in november to look up things. So, good job on doing so much research! The only danger is if the assignments are delayed because you're still researching the previous one (like me atm!). I'm from the pre-internet era myself but not as a writer. How did people do this before google?
