When you come to a factual matter that you could google in a matter of seconds, don't. Don't give in and look up the length of the Brooklyn Bridge, the population of Rhode Island, or the distance to the Sun. That way lies distraction — an endless click-trance that will turn your 20 minutes of composing into a half-day's idyll through the web.
Should have read that one many months ago. Great tip to not lose your momentum writing.
Seriously. It's so easy to go down a rabbit hole.

Do you just guess the length of the bridge then?

Just put in "TK" and then do a search for "TK" when you're done, looking up each fact you need to insert.
