The most important thing you can do is to write every day. Writing is a craft that has to be learned and then consistently polished. Start with thirty minutes of concentrated effort and stop before you get discouraged. Then another thirty minutes the next day. Work up to whatever amount of time or number of words you can achieve on a regular basis. Keep track of what you've accomplished. Join a support group. Find critique partners. Write, write, write. And don't forget to read!

Rosemary Simpson:
I picked up What the Dead Leave Behind because I've always thought that 1888 was an especially eventful year - along with the Great Blizzard and Jack the Ripper, the International Council of Women was formed, the London Matchgirl Strike happened, slavery was fully abolished in Brazil...are there any other major events that you'd like to incorporate into Prudence's story?
