A writer's travails...

I've spent weeks writing a scene. The other night, I spent hours looking for a hackney coach, a picture of one, that is, and found this...

Exactly what I was looking for. Details are important. Having the correct information makes all the difference between being absorbed in the story and being dragged rudely out of the story by a glaring error.

Granted, I make plenty of mistakes, but I do try to keep them to a minimum, in my writing anyway.
