Now Voyager is my all-time favorite. Who can forget Charlotte's line, "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." ?

Re: The trouble with the movies (10 replies, posted in Historical Fiction)
I don't trust the movies for accuracy. I believe as a writer, I should do my own research, even double checking what I think may be accurate. It is also nice to find someone who can help you with your research either because they are from the area and should know a lot of the history or someone who is very learned in the subject.
I happen to live in Arizona, born and raised. I can help in any questions you have about our state or particular city. I love history and spend a lot of my time researching things of interest. My love for history started when I was researching my grandmother's side of the family. I found out so much about the city of Maysville, MO, I could probably write a story based there, and I may. I received a lot of help from the Missouri Historical Society.
I like your Motto, Dunecan, "check and double check."
