Today’s Book Two Research

I figured a few things out over the weekend, with several plot problems finally resolved. Woo! I’m excited.

Of course, there were several issues that immediately arose, but research is my happy place. Here are a few of today’s searches:

  • Late 1800s geographic & soil composition maps of New Hampshire
  • Famous computer scientists from NH (search results were…interesting. Google, are you okay?)
  • Abandoned mines New Hampshire
  • Effects of sunlight deprivation
  • Buffalo chicken dip recipes

The last one might not be relevant to Paladin’s Legacy. Who could say?

Oh, and I finally got around to naming the buildings. Paladin University is using its recent expansion for some growth.

And please. Let’s not talk about the map of Lost Creek itself just yet. There might still be a lot of empty space to fill besides the campus, a graveyard, June’s apartment, and her beloved Athena diner.

June’s office is on the second floor of the Hale Building, directly over the end of the word “lower.”

And now, back to actual writing.

Sabotage

This story has been removed. Why? Because it’s part of the Professor Porter Saga and will be formally published in a revised form.

The final week of 2020’s prompt was from Leigh Kimmel: “A plumbing fixture suddenly stops working. On inspection, it turns out the cutoff valve has been turned off, but everyone denies having done so.” This was a tough one! I know nothing about plumbing. Neither, I suspect, do the ice fairies.

Mine went to Becky Jones and AC Young, who both wrote different and highly entertaining stories about goblins in the garbage.
