You hear this ALL THE TIME, but it's true: write what you know. If you're writing historical fiction, write about a period that you enjoy and that you've studied a lot. Write about the emotions of the characters from the standpoint of what you have actually felt. Do your research! Find out how others have felt in similar situations. Research the time period accurately.
