Since I write a lot of historical fiction, I try to get maps for the locations, print them out, and hang them in my office, so I can use them visually. Don't want to make a mistake and have my characters getting lost.Claudia R.

But, one article on the internet generally leads me to explore a subject more deeply, leading me right back to a book.<br /><br />I do like using the internet for people searches, when I need to contact a professional on a particular subject. In that respect, the internet saves me tremendous time.Claudia R.

The internet is so much more prone to doling out tidbits, often the same tidbits, often in direct quotes. Of course, if I had access to a few research article databases I might feel different but generally, books just have so much room to explore issues and give facts.<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just terrible at internet searches. ;)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.com
