I'm not a writer. Really, I'm not. But during the past, I was taught a few tips about writing. A big one is to know what you write. You don't want to write something like CSI without doing research about the process of criminal investigation or else your work would sound stupid. Another thing is that before you begin to write, make sure you have the plot down because you don't want to be stuck on page one. One more thing, if you have a lot of $, you can hire a ghostwriter, editor, and someone to create your cover. So those are the few tips I've learned about writing. Any tips you got would help.

LOL! You must not have watched "Bones" or any of the current generation of tv fare. The plot errors and science errors are big enough to drive a train through. Also - anything that gets turned into a movie or tv show is vetted and changed according to the whims of those with the cash. Get the book "Collaboration" to see how Hollywood worked with the NAZIs to censor anti-NAZI themes prior to U.S. involvement in WW II. The tradition continues.
