The Research Rabbit Hole

June 8, 2025 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Last time I checked in I had just had my first rejection after pitching. Later that day, I had a request for the full manuscript. The following week I had another request for the full manuscript. So now I'm in the waiting limbo that is 'on submission'. Some people like to send their work to … Continue reading The Research Rabbit Hole

What’s Next? Kyoto

If someone had told me it would take two years to get my book to a point I could send it to an editor for a manuscript assessment at the beginning of last year, I would have laughed.

Some up close research in the heart of Kyoto Another day of inspiration in Kyoto With exceptionally good timing (or a little witchy magic @annefreemanwrites) Kyoto National Museum currently and incidentally has its largest Tale of Genji exhibition in over fifty years. This is one of the books I’m currently writing about and I was beside myself to see many 800-900 year old handwritten copies of it, as well as screens, fans, and many scrolls. Research…so much to take in and try to commit to memory. I’m writing down as much sensory information as I can. It’s overwhelming, but in a good way. On every trip to Japan @maskedman01 and I intend to visit Kawai Kanjiro’s home. It is literally around the corner from where we stay, less than five minutes walk. Some of my dolls, for context ❤️ Did you know I’m a collector? I have several serious collections. One is Blythe Dolls. We found our dream house in Tokyo. Sadly it’s in a museum, but is perfectly furnished and just out style 😜 @maskedman01 #tatemonoentokyo #edotokyooutdoormuseum #tokyo #japanmidcentury #japandi Nine years ago, Stu and I bought a house. It became the home we blended our families together in, and in which we had many great times.
