About Rosemary Morris, Historical Fiction Novelist.

 

Writing a novel is a solitary occupation. Every day, alone with my laptop, I work for eight hours, posting on face book and elsewhere, reading historical non-fiction to research my new classic historical romance rich in period detail and writing. Before the threat of covid, I visited places of historical interest to convey the lives and times of the protagonists in my tales of past times, who are not 21st characters in costume.

As a historical fiction novelist, I don’t think it is possible to portray every small fact about the past accurately, but I have a responsibility my readers to thoroughly research the eras in which my novels are set.

When my words flow well, I am tempted to work for many hours without a break, which is detrimental. Writing is mentally and physically tiring, so I have a five-minute break every hour, during which I stretch my body and exercise my eyes. If the weather permits, I work in my oranic garden. Prior to covid, I visited the health suite at the leisure centre to swim and enjoy the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

I don’t want to be a writer in a garret but sometimes I wish I lived in an ivory tower with nothing to distract me from my imaginary companions. However, the daily chores, cleaning, washing clothes, shopping etc., keep my feet on the ground, so does time with family and friends.
