Is research really needed for writing a book?
by Alina -2013
Did you think of doing some research before writing your first draft?
Did you think of doing some research before writing your first draft?
~Most of you will say yes, and probably it can be considered a must do. How much research? Until you really believe that you gathered enough information to make your possibly-bestseller-book credible, and with no noticeable story holes.
Let`s say that you are writing a book and you didn`t do any research before your writing. Why didn`t you? Is it because you forgot? Were you lazy? You didn`t have the time? Or you simply thought that you already know everything there is to know about the subject you are writing? Well, the chances are that your book won`t be as complete and compelling as you hope, if you can`t count yourself as people who are really specialized in what they are going to write about.
I`m the kind of person who thinks that research is essential to any sort of book. First of all, because a complete research gives you more and better ideas for your plot direction, second, because it gives you confidence in your story, and third, because a story that has a background full of research is simply better.
Before and while writing my book, The Plan, I really enjoyed researching. It is fun and interesting, because the process brings with it a lot of new fresh information, and details that you`ll find very helpful for your plot.

So next time you plan writing about something, don`t miss your research, because if you do, you might miss some fun and some great ideas for your plot, if you are planning to write fiction.

Think research is important
ReplyDeleteHello all,
ReplyDeleteYes, research is really important. In my opinion research is the difference between a good book and a mediocre book, and It is a fundamental part of a book.
Without research, a writer is jeopardaizing his credibility, the reality of that plot, and therefore would not get the reader to feel the story.
Cheers!
