I understand your desire to be true and prefect in the portrayal of a character even in the use of language. I am constantly looking up for the archaic use of words (from mid 1800s) and in a culture significantly different from North America but that is part of the joy of writing, finding the right words. Now on the issue of perfection? What is that? The condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects. No one is ever perfect and people will always find flaws so embrace them and don't sweat them. I loved this post!
Thank you so much, Wendy, for your sane advice. I believe I have twisted my brain over this and have to regain my footing. AND THANK YOU for the compliment too!

You will Joanne I have no doubt.
I greatly appreciate your faith in me, Wendy. More than I can say, really.
