Resources For Writing Period Pieces: 1900-1939

– The format of this piece in my Resources For Writing Period Pieces series is different due to it covering only a portion of a century, which has much more documentation and recorded historical details. I’ve done this in a way that covered each decade almost separately, but put all four under the umbrella of “early 20th century”. I hope this is helpful to all of you historical fiction writers out there. The other two articles covering this century will be formatted the same way. Happy researching!

MY CURRENT WORK IN PROGRESS (Check it out, it’s pretty cool. At least I think it is.)

Veterans Ask Native Elders For Forgiveness At Standing Rock.

I never thought I would see this day when a white man apologizes for the tyranny and oppression of Native American population. This is so powerful. This is the nation that I want - responsible, compassionate and that learns from its mistakes.

God bless them!

If all jobs paid for the quality of work done, rather than the hours scheduled, people would develop outstanding work ethic right from their first employment opportunity

Michelangelo’s David is by far one of my favorite paintings. Two entirely distinct themes present themselves when I view this work. The clearly binary aspect between the human figure and the divine, and the parallel between the two figures which circularly reflect each other.

The first perspective focuses on the obvious contrast between the portrait’s two characters. Creation, creator. Man and God. Nature and the supernatural. One of the body, the other of the soul. Frankly, the usual dichotomies we’ve all contemplated at some point.

It is the other aspect of this painting that I find most appealing. It is that the essence of Adam is not only created by the god of antiquity, but it is also that god’s creator. Since the backdrop of Michelangelo’s god is a dark rose curtain in the shape of a brain, I speculate Adam is not the only creation in this picture.

Once one realizes this god is created by our human processor, a cycle of creation presents itself between the two. Both are the creator and the creation.

This connection between artist, man, and god is something I thought about while writing Flawed Machines. I ultimately hope readers see this distinction in my work.
