I am very interested in writing historical articles and stories, both fiction and non. Julia's piece, 'The Terror of Topics,' appears to be a great launchpad in order to assist a writer put their intended work in the right mindset and context. Thanks for this one, Julia! I printed it out and I'm sure I'll refer to it often to help motivate my endeavor to be a discerning and well-informed author.

In fact, all of your articles on Suite 101's 'Historical Writing' are well presented with a preset cognition to both subject matter and audience that I hope to emulate. Wonderful! I have you bookmarked!

In response to message posted by jmartin70:

My apologies for not writing back sooner...since November I have been busy writing 5 manuscripts (the last one will be finished this weekend!).

Thanks for the vote of confidence, and if there's anything you'd like me to write about, drop me a line.

Beginning in March, I'll be doing a series about the actual publishing process from when a manuscript arrives on the editor's desk to when the completed books are put on a semi. I'm hoping that everyone will not only enjoy learning about what happens after they drop their submission into the mail, but will get a good laugh out of some of my more "unique" experiences as an editor.
