Writing & Research Begins Again

I've been going to a meetup in Mt. View's Books Inc. "Shut up & Write." Been there twice. Gotten over 700 words on paper. "First page" stuff.

Found out a few things about medieval London:

• There is a manor of St Mary’s which is called Lambeth. Countess Gode, sister of Kind Edward, held it. It was then assessed at ten hides; now at two and a half hides. There is tand for two and a half ploughs. In demesne are two ploughs, twelve villeins and 27 bordars with four ploughs. There is a church, and 19 burgesses in London who pay 36/-, and there are three slaves and 16 acres (65,000 m²) of meadow and woodland for three pigs.

Integrated it into the "scene setting."
