You mention research, but failed to give us some suggestions for great research sites. A video with directly useful information would be great!

[MultiSmartass1]

If you are planing to be freelance writer in general, research is necessary.

Don't rely on imagination unless you are writing your first novel.

I come from a journalism backround so research is part of the game and this means being able to navigate the internet and even look up books if necessary.

My advice: Use internet search engines as well as you can. Look up multiple sources and as many sources as possible. Also, evaluate them for authenticity.

This has been a tip from a smartass.
