Many authors and editors will tell you to write what you know. To make it fun for you and the reader, write about something you know and add some fiction to it. Use your experience of riding a bike and add a crazy character who’s forgotten how to or every time he gets on it the bike goes in reverse.  

   If you’re writing fiction, chances are you haven’t done everything your characters have. If I’d done everything the characters in THE CHRONICLES OF JOYA have done, I’d still be up there enjoying myself or recovering from exhaustion. Hee hee.

   So how do you get a good mix?

   Use your experience and flavour it up with a twist of fiction.  Have fun and experiment.

   Happy Thursday! Liane x
