Still, I'm looking forward to being published "soon". Also, I'm afraid to admit I had the same perception concerning research for fiction as Brockway pokes fun at. "Five minutes and easy peasy!" Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha! I spent six months in research, a year in trying to come up with my opening scene (between being unemployed), and I've spent the last week banging out over 50,000 words, just to find that 90% of it has to be rewritten (and the rest still written) before I can even call it a halfway decent first draft.
