Anonymous asked: This is kind of related to that question about prophecies — if I'm writing historical fiction, is there a method or "test" to determine what a character could or could not have known in a given time period? Or should I just be careful and do lots of research? Thanks! :)

Deidre: I cannot stress this enough: Always. Do. Your. Research. Even though it’s your story, I still highly suggest being even somewhat realistic. Is your character omniscient? If not, xe will probably not know what’s going on on another continent at the same time. Plain and simple. 

Happy writing!
