I do dislike Those Months. I've pencilled in a few for my year. Never any fun. Glad I could help! :) 

As for how you treated your reference- materials vs. your fiction? It makes perfect sense to me! References/reality is meant to be dissected. Fiction is meant to be carefully guarded. No one wants to read their notes to their own brain while reading about the hero going in to sit down and have his fourth tankard of ale since chapter four (we'd know because it was noted there in the margins and then highlighted with green, as opposed to the blue highlights which are for 'what I wouldda dun different', and yellow highlights which are merely 'I'm smart and like this, yes I do'). Although, if it means you are indeed a silly person, then I'd have to say the world is better off for having one more silly person. There are far too many Right people - we need more silly folk to balance out the universe.
