Readers need to be able to understand and relate to your characters, world, and situations, otherwise they will quickly lose interest. Author and reseacher Guy Morris finds a lot of value in doing extensive research if you&#39;re not familiar with the world, setting, or cultures you are writing about. Your story&#39;s world has to support the characters and the plot, and the more plausible it all is, the more engaging it will be to a reader. Even stories from the imagination should be based on real world social issues, belief systems, and technologies. Morris says research will help fill in the gaps for what you haven&#39;t experienced or for what you don&#39;t know.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/UsingResearchtoMakePlotsCharactersSettingandDialogueMoreBelievable.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../UsingResearchtoMakePlotsCharactersSettingandDialogueMoreBelievable.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
