Imagination

A writer's imagination cannot be their only material. One must research, research, research. Not only the names in the work but places and dates. There can be other writer's with the same title. The dates need to be accurate as well. Research will help you avoid any legal problems in the future.

Beginning to write is usually following an inner urge to express yourself. One should gift themselves with two tools..a thesaurus and a dictionary. These will become the writer's best friends. As I've said before, find your spot. This is where you are most comfortable. Some people like to have a television or music playing. Myself, I have to have silence. Their spot will allow them to pour their mind, heart, and soul into their work.
