I am a Christian. I read the Bible, and actually enjoy it. I'd gone to 2nd grade Sunday School class all my second grade year and memorized the verses. However,I cannot tell you half of what I learned. But what I researched on Google for my book. Every.Word.I.Know. But can I say the same for the Bible I say I love? The honest answer is no. I spend more time analyzing what my main character of my own book is going to do in chapter four, scene three than what Jesus did, The main charter of God's Word did in the fourth book and third chapter of the Bible. Sad. And Hypocritical of me. So if you're reading this to hope to gain supreme knowledge on your upcoming book(no promises) the advice I'll give you now is research in your Bible and research on the web for your book.
A blog designed with the wacky idea I could keep it up and spread information about writing and reading. In reality I need your information very much. This is the crazy land where also I write "writting" instead of the...well, correct, writing.Enjoy!

First Off+Research
Hey, I am Rachel and this my blog. Congrats on making it this far! You can see the "about me" column to see what all I am doing.
Today I learned from my mom today the value of research on your books. yeah, I knew it was important but now I know how much effort it takes and the knowledge, Patience too. A lot of patience.You have to go find sites and see pictures and hear quotes and expressions. Especially if you're doing a historical novel or something along those lines. Which I am doing.I recamond http://www.answers.com/ and http://www.wikipedia.com/ the only problem is that the answers and essays and info is provided by people like us. Sadly those two do not have super smart tech stuff that answers all questions for us. Sad day.
However someone who does have that are people like the all famous Google, bing, and Yahoo.Trust me, they know evrything.
So take time to let one site lead to the next, and have anotebook to take...well notes and to write down the sweb adddress so you can re-look things up.If that's a word.
Another way is to forgot the internet and use the old fastioned things called resource books. It was only until I started volenteering at the library that I realized how many there were. And many really are...resourceful. Get inter-library loans if your library dosen't have what you want or go to gorage sales, estates sales, and bascially nose around. If your a writter your friends will be used to the oddness.I have to go but I'll add more later.
