So you research as well? that's great to hear!
And your right it can be both hard and a pain, but if you look at it in the long run it'll be good for your story, I've looked up both historical figures and mythological creatures to give ether inspiration or ideas to the story I'm working on.
I think your story will be very interesting, just keep on at it!
Every writer does research at some point or another. It is very good for many different things. I will point out that it is very different from inspiration, though. Inspiration can come form anywhere, research not so much. To do good research, you have to find credible sources and possibly check where they get their information from if necessary. It can indeed be a pain, which is why I have some appreciation for those that do it well and make their story work within the time period and cultures they choose. I'm pretty sure my brain would melt if I did that much research for one topic though.
Thanks for the encouragement, but I did not mention that I was working on anything at the moment. I had been trying one simple project, but then I got stuck and am now trying to fix the issues I had so I can actually finish the bugger.
