APRIL Q&A VIDEO - SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS!!!
I have a good one to start you off...
The end of the month beckons, so it’s time to submit questions for the monthly Q&A video.
The deal is the same as always:
Post your questions for me in the comments below this article. (Don’t email them or post them to any other social media.)
I’ll make a video post answering as many of them as I can. Ideally, all of them.
That’s it. Well, nearly…
If you’re short of inspiration, here’s something to think about.
I read this morning that Post Malone (musician, more tattoos than me on his front, fewer on his back) has teamed up with Michael Bay (film director, once allegedly yelled at an English Heritage staff member that he was going to ‘put Stonehenge on the map’) to make an IP Universe (comic book) about an 18-wheeler truck send by God into zombie-infested medieval Europe.
I have many questions about this, so presumably you do too.
Let’s go!

Okay, here’s my question for this month: how do you deal with burnout on a particular subject? Particularly when that subject is in the forefront of the public consciousness or conversation.
For example, I’ve seen Hunting the Falcon about Anne Boleyn in bookstores a lot since it was released and can’t bring myself to buy or read it because I feel like I’ve already learned SO much about her and her fate. I feel like I want whatever information/argument/opinion/etc that’s new, but I don’t want to read 400 other pages of things I already know. Am I making sense? Idk.
The Plantagenets sure wrote a lot of letters. How did the mail get delivered, especially when the delivery target was away on progress or campaign? How is it that so many letters survived, even when the person did not?
