A very interesting morning visit to Sutton Scarsdale with @limefinishes.bsky.social today, looking at various elements of this impressive Georgian building (adapted from an earlier house). Here’s some of the beautiful decorative plaster 😍🤩

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

You don’t need to use every source. You only need the ones that move your story forward. Listen for the pieces that click with your purpose—those are the ones worth keeping.

Awkward Googling for Writers, Vol. XXI

I'm told you must know what kind of music your characters would put on Spotify:

Savonarola - would he be more of a Swiftie, a metalhead, a country boy, or just up for a good old-fashioned rave?

This is a great question! By way of response, here are a couple of my favourite sources for late antique and early medieval diplomacy #medievalsky🧵 (1/13):
