Research is a right pain sometimes. I've just spent two hours writing one sentence because I wrote "a woman, wearing a..." and stopped dead.  Then I had to go and research fashion, more particularly Italian fashion in 1933, which turned out to be not as simple as it appeared.  The depression AND fascism had influenced fashion a great deal.

Now I'm stuck again over something STUPID.  What's the thing called that you carry a mixture of cake around on?  You know, usually silver or plated, and has a handle and several stories?

ETA: CAKE STAND - I'm an idiot.  Thank you enolabloodygay

I think you are entirely right. I've written 1000 words in five days and most of it is stopping to research, as I've just reaslied how deep and wide the socio-political situtation was in Italy in 1933 (d'oh) so I'll do what i did for a lot of Mere Mortals and just put [SOMETHING] and come back to it, thanks hun!
