Letter from the editor

As a writer, you can't help but wonder what the future will look like long after we are gone. Will it turn into what people predict? Destruction of the world or will machines take over? Your guess is as good as mine. Will a natural disaster destroy all that we know? From history we've learned that somehow some things are preserved over centuries, if not even millennia.

What will this generation leave behind? Decades from now, what will this particular time be remembered by? While you think that our future may develop differently and that the present might prove to have some kind of progress, we have not moved on much from our ancestors. History tends to repeat itself. No one has learned from the past. Our outlook on the future shows little promise that we will make much of ourselves. Wars are inevitable as is famine and destruction. No matter how big our progress scientifically or technologically, our hearts have not changed. We will always want more. Nothing has been learned from the past.

Not all of us are fascinated by the past and how it changed the world just to have another generation repeat its mistakes. However, the books which do include a significant part of history can be quite fascinating. Yet, how do we pinpoint to a specific time, explore it and incorporate it into our own writing? Research!

Here are some topics which could turn fruitful for the hungry writer in you:

*BulletB* History’s Great Romantics
*BulletB* Famous Pirate Strongholds
*BulletB* Famous Time Capsules
*BulletB* Violent Uprisings in the United States
*BulletB* Secrets of King Tut
*BulletB* Wars Fought for Ridiculous Reasons
*BulletB* Things You Might Not Know About Julius Caesar
*BulletB* Things You Didn’t Know About the Old West
*BulletB* Famous Shipwrecks Still Waiting to be Discovered
*BulletB* Deadly Environmental Disasters
*BulletB* Things You Might Not Know About the Women’s Suffrage Movement
*BulletB* Famous Border Walls
*BulletB* Things You May Not Know About the Ancient Sumerians
*BulletB* Inventions We Owe to the Ancients
*BulletB* Little-Known Facts About the Lewis and Clark Expedition
*BulletB* Things You May Not Know About the Oregon Trail
*BulletB* Patriot Spies of the American Revolution
*BulletB* Remarkable Prison Breaks
*BulletB* Famous Pyrrhic Victories
*BulletB* Things You Should Know About Stonehenge
*BulletB* Lost Burial Sites
*BulletB* 19th-Century Celebrities You Should Know
*BulletB* Bizarre Natural Disasters

These are but a few of the many things which you as a writer may find intriguing. While writing about history or including it into your own stories should be as accurate as possible, it doesn't not mean you can't put your own twist on certain things. Perhaps your character knew Julius Caesar, or has traveled the Oregon Trail? Have any of your characters walked the border walls or even escaped prison? These are the things your readers don't know about. Including it as part of history makes for a more interesting story! Let's see you come up with something fun.

'til next time!
