Backing up just in case

[erastes]

Well, I've been backing up my Livejournal posts today onto Blogspot, but it's not going well - I installed Blog2Blog but it only copied 30 out of 1251 posts. Not good!  I'm not really panicking, I have a billion blogs here and there, and ideally I'd like something like Hayden Thorne has, with a blog and a website combined, but have no idea how this is done.  I'm a little nervous of Wordpress as the updating (from what I hear from others) is pretty daunting.

Wrote a little today, but think I need a lot more research.  I am beginning to realise why people stay in their comfort zones--it's much easier to stay in Regency England (particularly London) because I can see it in my head and know the politics and events of the time. When I jump to early Victorian Norfolk, it's rather different. Even the coastline was different then, let alone the people's minds and thoughts and socio-political make-up.  And to think - it's only really about 20-30 years after when I'm used to writing about. Standish finished in about 1823 I believe.

I'm also beginining to realise that I have a real dislike - almost amounting to a phobia - of text books. I don't know why this is--all I can think of is that is goes back to my schooldays or something. I sit down with The Norfolk Broads - a rather massive tome stretching from pre-history, and I just glaze over.  I really wish I was one of these people who loved to read them, it would make my life so very much easier!
