Research methods for writers

Today's article was written by our online friend Lyn Horner, who resides in Fort Worth (Texas, USA) with her husband and several beloved cats. A former visual artist, Lyn began writing while working as a stay-at-home mom. She loves crafting action-packed historical and contemporary romances featuring psychic characters and sizzling romance. She has won several awards for her engaging novels. She invites our readers to visit via her  Website , or her FaceBook page... and don't forget to check out her Amazon Author Page . :) Research Methods For Authors (& writers of all sorts) If you’re an author, whether fiction or non-fiction, you may love researching time periods, settings, fashion styles, speech patterns, etc., as I do.

I’m an author of historical, paranormal suspense, and time travel romances. As such I’ve done hundreds of ho

Socially Conscious Business

Entrepreneurs are constantly looking for ways to stand out, solidify their networks, nurture their relationships and grow their clientele without breaking the bank. Increasing the difficulty, entrepreneurs have to balance overworked staff with the additional stress of competing with all the other entities that are trying to gain the attention of the same audience. We have found that there are many ways for businesses to reach new audiences locally, regionally or globally while making a positive difference. We don't have to have a large budget, advertise, allocate a huge amount of time or become extroverts bursting with energy. I'm going to share with you just a few of the ways we have gone about this, and perhaps it will inspire you.

Poetry Time

It will also be included in the upcoming 3rd book of poetry in the Playing With Words series. This #poem, Virago, focuses on the epic journey of life - it is a compilation of my understanding of this journey, after a couple decades spent in study of gurus and shamans, thought leaders and specialists - the search for meaning, or purpose, in life... the journey to one's inner self, and beyond.

Everything is an enigma. I learned that memories are interpretations Based on stories I tell myself According to the narrow window view  That I had at the time.  These w
