Two more to go. Steve, I like that advice: sometimes you can be fascinated with something you know very little about, and that's a great springboard - once you've researched. You have to research, though. Too many nit-pickers out there to try and blag it with half-baked info. Yup, George, passion is the key. You can't be truly creative or motivated without it. Cheers, fellahs! That’s three of us. Two more to go.

I have been advised, in the past, to write what I DON'T know, and I guess some of what fascinates me here could fall into my "likes." But the "what you know" to me is old hat. By the way, I've never read Harry Potter nor seen any of the movies. No desire to, either. Steve Hi Mark:

It's how it feels sometimes for sure. I think that writing what you like makes a lot of sense. I started something a while back that had a great opening scene. I even wrote a couple of chapters worth of stuff and then the thing just fizzled and now I understand why. The story was a hard-boiled detective mystery. I hate those. Never read them. What was I thinking? Me? Never read a single Harry Potter book and my kid can't stand the movies. Anomalies are us. George Hey Mark, That whole climbing Everest thing cracks me up.
