Back at home now. A greasy rain is falling outside, and I hear it is to continue for many months. The inside is not all that inviting either.

Another day of pattering down many many words that lead in circles. Today I questioned the time in which I start my story. I had for the most part assumed it would start in the near-modern times and that the fantasy world that my character journeys to would be rather medieval. I have gone back and forth with questions about how women are perceived in my fantasy world, and I many times imagine my main character in a dress. Well, no girl in modern times wears dresses. So today I toyed with the idea of having her start from the 1940 or so, a very female-centric time to be living it (many men off to war). This would also set up the feelings of war within her and ready her to accept them when she entertains the problems in the fantasy world. Huh. I need to go to an antique shop and pick up a 1940s yearbook...
