    Books about your country but written by foreign authors

    When you write something about a place familiar to you, it is writing from the inside in, a self to self process.

    How much real stuff do you put in your stories?

    I think it is inevitable that we write about things that we ourselves had experienced.

    Percentage of depression within writers

    Writing How to make dialogues sound natural?

    1. Always remember you are not talking to yourself. Keep in mind, its the characters that are talking to each other, with their own ways of intepertations of sentences and their own styles of replies. I made a 50 set question file which i answer in the way i think my character would answer, so i...
