About Writing

I read in a book a few days ago:

A woman once told me at a writers' conference that she wanted to become a fiction writer because she hated research. She said, "If I write fiction, I can just make it up! Then I won't have to spend all that time in stuffy libraries."
Just Write--Susan Titus Osborn

I tell ya right now, if she thinks libraries are stuffy, she's just plain not a writer.

Also, fiction can be much better if it is based on some research...

Not to mention that, yes.
