I learned this the hard way, but if you're planning to write something, DO THE RESEARCH (before!).
I figured that with POD, because it was so...real life, that I didn't have do this crucial step in writing a book, but 60 pages in, I hit a road block.
When my character, Jamie, went to court, I realized that I needed to do some intesive studing. Which has put me back on my writing over a week.
In addition, I have to go back and rewrite the latest chapters. So like I said. RESEARCH. It does wonders, saves you the trouble of having to rewrite, and the embarassment of getting things wrong.
Some good places to look are of course...
www.google.com
&
www.wikipedia.org (also very very good)
Happy writings, and Good luck!
