To do good historical research you will need to spend a lot of time in an archive/library and have online access to historical journals. Another aspect is being in constant communication with other people in the field. If you are just a regular ass person, your best bet is the novel.

I do that already, but it takes a lot of fucking time before I get to have anything out there then. I'm perfectionistic as fuck about this. Though I kind of want to share some of the ideas I came up with, which I already have somewhat delineated in fictional shit I have here.

Ernst Jünger did both.
I don't see why the two are mutually exclusive.

Either requires an absolute commitment. What's your historiographical position on the knowability of texts?
