Research

I spent about an hour and a half yesterday reading two books: This Must Be My Brother by Leann Thieman and Carol Dey and The Vietnamese Boat People, 1954 and 1975–1992
by Nghia M. Vo . I vaguely remember the first story, so I either read the book when I was younger or watched a show on television about it. The story takes place over the course of two days and is a fast, easy read. The second book is more in-depth. I am probably going to have to read it two or three times to really understand what it is saying.
Writing a book takes a lot more than just sitting down and putting words on paper. Any book, even a fiction book, takes time, research, planning, and time. If you are writing a book, give yourself time to make it the best it possibly can be before publishing it. Taking the time and necessary steps will be worth it, to you, and to your readers.
