#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 5 What's a trait of other written works you admire, but don't seek to incorporate in your own works?
Honestly, anything I admire I am going to try to imitate.
I admire when authors do a ton of research and it comes through in their writing. Like knowing what fixtures a 1920's aristocrat would have in their bathroom, that kind of thing. I purposely avoid writing historical fiction so I can bypass the requirement for historical research + verisimilitude.

@seanpatrickphd weirdly, this is one of the reasons I like writing historical fiction; it gives me opportunities to find that stuff out!
