Date: 2011-09-13 09:19 pm (UTC)So, now I'm researching WWI and how Europe ended up divided the way it was; I want to change some of the facts so that the countries end up different, but not by much.
I'm struggling with how much research I need to do into what really happened before I can change it into what I need/want to have happened. This is background, but the more I read, the more I think I could use this background, the chaos and frustrations of WWI, as part of the story. Still, that doesn't help me know how much to include and how realistic I have to make it.
*sigh*
So, basically, I'm saying I don't know how much to steal and how much to change.
