A best-selling author(who shall ...So true, so true. A best-selling author(who shall remain nameless) once lost me as a loyal reader because she confused terms from two different martial arts. A small detail, but a biggie to a young reader. Good to know you're the kind of writer who goes to the trouble for her readers!Ophelia Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424224315791620172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-19853081789241525522012-03-22T20:57:33.149-04:002012-03-22T20:57:33.149-04:00Elysabeth, I'm glad you found it inspiring! Go...Elysabeth, I'm glad you found it inspiring! Good luck with your research.<br />And Beverly, thanks for your comments. I think what it comes down to is that we don't have to write only what we already know about, but we should know about it by the time we write about it.christine Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800441088372947329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-24572116158322985472012-03-22T20:50:05.914-04:002012-03-22T20:50:05.914-04:00I agree.

We don't have to know everything with research so readily available in books, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. Good article.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-957544364474803102012-03-22T17:04:47.846-04:002012-03-22T17:04:47.846-04:00Christine,

I was just talking to my editor about the novel I'm working on and told her she could do some research for me but she balked at it, saying that she wasn't the researcher, I was and she was like, "I thought you were looking forward to getting into the story." I am really just I don't know where to start and what direction to go in - I have a basis or foundation but knowing what I'm writing about, especially something totally different from anything I've ever written, is hard to get going when you don't know where to start. But, it's all in the name of research. So onward and upward we go - thanks for the inspiration, just when I needed it - E :)<br /><br />Elysabeth Eldering<br />Author of Finally Home, a YA paranormal (ghost) mystery<br />"The Proposal" (an April Fools Day story), a humorous romance ebook<br />"The Tulip Kiss", a paranormal (ghost) romance ebook<br />"Bride-and-Seek", a paranormal (ghost) romance ebook<br />http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com<br />http://eeldering.weebly.comelysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.com
