Research central
I don’t know what it’s like for other writers, but i have to shamefully admit that my main source of research is google.
I abuse google translate whenever i need foreign words, and the dear old folks down there just provided me with what i hope (!!) is a good brand of true Russian Vodka, as well as its latin spelling: Putinka.
I dread the moment someone will read my book and decide to google things that are foreign to them, like i always do when i read, and realize that most of the stuff they’ll want to find is among the first few pages of either Google or Wikipedia.
Alas, there’s no helping it. Wish me luck, page 45 and counting.
