Writing is probably the only profession where people think you can just pick up a pen and start writing a masterpiece. I've heard it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, and writing fiction is no different. Learn your spelling and grammar--even if you use an editor (and you should), you'll at least know what proper English should look like, so you'll know if you're being scammed.

I also like to get inside my character's heads and ask them what they'd do next. This includes villains. They often come up with some challenging obstacles!(less)

There was a discussion recently on kboards.com about whether writers “live” near where their books are set. Since I write mostly fantasy and science fiction, that would definitely be “no.” Yet a lot of writers do seem to write about places near where they call home. Stephen King is a perfect example of this, with so many of his books set in Maine. Others seem to go the opposite way, and I fall int
