Sometimes I really love being a writer and doing the research thing. Today I've spoken to a really helpful Police Sergeant and a just as helpful Head of Police Media Services.
A big THANK YOU to both these guys for helping me get my policey facts right!
Well, that's nice...A writer needs to be inquisitive,just as rare are helpful people around :)
ReplyDeleteI just had a look at the sidebar of your blog..."Winner of the Jean Clarke Award 2010"
Yeehaw!Congratulations!This is great :)
I am so glad I know a writer of your stature:)
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog re: Woodbines and I'm so pleased that my post has been of use to you. That's what makes blogging so cool!

Folks are often quite eager to help writers. I think people really love to talk about what they do.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I always tell writers (when they ask) that one of the best ways to research is to conduct interviews with people who know first hand about said topic.

Charles ~ I'm sure you're right, I've always found people most helpful whenever I've wanted information and I find the facts they are willing to tell to impart so interesting.
onipar ~ I always get nervous when I have to interview folk, but the benefits are so worth the nerves!
