Various things also go down it from ideas to money.<br /><br />Musical chamber pots... now there's a novel romance novel idea. Using the tooting pots as signaling devices (sort of "one if by land, two if by sea") comes immediately to mind. :-)<br /><br />I did manage to work a "bathroom experience" (via introspection) into my current ms. It just seemed so fitting for my 21st C heroine to discover what passed for toilet paper in 1815.<br /><br />:-)<br />NinaNinaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673997575080486274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-66697318046256247502010-05-08T21:51:44.971+01:002010-05-08T21:51:44.971+01:00Now I've done a bit of research I don't th...Now I've done a bit of research I don't think I've given the various chamber pots and bathing appliances sufficient sophistication in my books, Elizabeth. Will make sure I have a musical chamber pot in the next one!<br /><br />I hadn't realised that the actual appliance was called a Crapper, Virginia! Despite Thomas being responsible for bringing it out of the closet, I can't help but feel grateful that that name changed!Nicola Cornickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916076219284821820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-72832710856291589542010-05-08T20:21:30.869+01:002010-05-08T20:21:30.869+01:00A respectful "tip of the pot" to Thomas ...A respectful "tip of the pot" to Thomas Crapper, who elevated "crap" into a new level of societal acceptance!Virginia Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960370038323930029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-51346287589060058442010-05-08T17:50:22.658+01:002010-05-08T17:50:22.658+01:00Sounds like a fascinating book!
