What a great little article! I have struggled so much with my writing and have asked several of my writer friends (including those with many many published books) for tips, tricks, etc... but this is the first thing I have seen that actually makes sense to me. The only part that I have a problem with is the Research, I am good at doing research, I just don't have the resources to be able to do it. Sure I can look things up on the net but that isn't the same as visiting places and talking to real people and I can't take time from my job to do that nor do I have the money to travel. But I digress! Back to my point! I am thrilled with this article and will be saving it for future reference! Thanks so much!
