Well, it's been quite the few days at the library! I recently put up a list of the monsters I have found in my research:

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #2289542 by Not Available.

I put this list up on another site as well.

Well, someone gave me an extra list of over 500 names! And some places to research them!

Unfortunately, well over half were from literature and fiction and films, so they were ignored. But the rest were from various mythologies and even some new cryptids. Some ended up being not suitable, but it seems that I have added almost 200 new beings/names to my list, and an extra 10k+ words to my magnum opus. It's fast approaching 240k words; when I started, it was looking at maybe a 120k word tome.

Lots of research, lots of writing... and learning so much as I do this.

Non-fiction writing is so different to stuff I just make up in my head. Will this book ever be completed? How long is a piece of string?

But, seriously, there can't be many more left for me to discover. Can there?
