Life in a Medieval City
This is the last of Geises books that I plan to read this year. I’ve really enjoyed their trilogy about medieval life and am looking forward to doing more reading from and about the Middle Ages.
I’m so glad to live in our day and age though I think that there were definitely some good aspects of daily life then. Yay for modern medicine, yay for good nutrition, yay for showers.
I have not been feeling well the last week or so and so have been very under-productive. I’m also really struggling to get any writing done and beginning to think that I’m going to have to make some major changes if I want to be an author. I’ve tried to get by with once or twice weekly writing sessions and that’s just not working. By the time I do get away with paper and pen my creative energy is just gone. I need not just time to write but time to nurture the mental state necessary to write something worth reading. I think I’m going to have to be ok with being away from my family a little bit more. Maybe three nights a week plus most of Saturday. We’ll see.

Carry a little notebook around with you, the mole skins are the best because they have a built in rubber band but they are more expensive. Then just jot down ideas as they come to you. Make sure you jot down enough though, because I have had way to many cryptic messages left for my future self by my past self.
