Pat here:
Since I totally blew my blog date while buried under revisions, edits, and the start of a new book, I’m pulling out an oldie for you to consider how to approach not dieting for the holidays.
In hunting for a food that small boys might relish at a village fair, I went on a google expedition. The internet boasts a plethora of material that I would have given my right hand to own back when I first started writing. Now, instead of procrastinating— researching—by getting lost in my library, I hunt through Wikipedia, jump to Google Books, dig deep into newspaper archives, or just generally wallow in the wealth of Regency blogs and websites available with the click of a mouse.
