Kind of counter-intuitive, but as more of a plot-driven, rather than character-driven, author I like digging around and finding out stuff that I can use to build the tapestry of the adventure - and obscure is better. In the JERUSALEM PROPHECIES series, our guys travel from St. Anthony's Monastery in Egypt (the oldest, continuously in use monastery in the world), to the Krak de Chevaliers, a Crusader castle in Syria, to some 5,000-year-old passage tombs in Loughcrew, County Meath, Ireland. Who would know about that kind of stuff without doing research? That's the fun part.(less)

There is no better training ground for writing than writing. If you can, get a job as a journalist, where they pay you to write. It's a different kind of writing, but it teaches you discipline and deadlines.
Buy Stephen King's book, On Writing. A fascinating read, and a lot of good ideas.
Go to Writer's Conferences. If you want to learn how to improve your craft ... or you're starting out like I was in 2005 and wanted to know the right way to write a book, to learn the craft ... there is no better investment than Writer's Conferences. You can learn a huge amount in a short time, and make some lasting and important relationships.(less)

Hi Terry. I just first realized I could respond to friend notices here on Goodreads. (Ah, yes--some of us are a little slower than others. ) Anyway, thank you for friending me. All the best to you!
