This is a very wise and timely article. Your point on research is particularly telling for me as I have by coincidence been researching aircraft. I went to archives, museums and met incredible people. The sheer joy of doing all of that can never be replaced. So that took me weeks and I had to travel hundreds of miles and I probably could have found the information I really needed in a matter of seconds? Here's to the joy, the journey and the chance encounters of true research!
Imperial Airways' 1930s Empire Flying Boat routes across India, in particular how their bases on lakes for refueling and overnight passenger stops worked. For my next novel.
By the way, I referenced your October 'Bill Nighy' post as the inspiration for my description of my in depth conversation with Anthony Hopkin...
