I was once asked 'How do you become a writer? Move to Paris? Drink too much alcohol? Have lots of unwise love affairs?" I said no. Just apply your glutes to a chair and draw out of the dark well of the imagination thousands of words every day for the rest of your life. Simple

Why should a novel set in the past be historically accurate?
It's a fiction, not a documentary.

Sometimes putting things on the shelf for a year is the best thing you can do. I was fighting with the last chapter + epilogue of this draft last year, and in the past 3 days I've randomly gone back and nearly finished them.

What do y'all have shelved right now?
