• How to come up with an idea.
• The power of "What if..."
• Building your characters
• Write what you know (more or less)
• Continuity and anachronisms (Why is your character using a cell phone in 1979?)
•  Internet research: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
• Playing with history
•  If you don't read, you can't write
• The editing process
• Self-Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing
