Last night a writer, responded to one of my posts. I didn't like what she said, so I responded on writers unboxed ( facebook). I was summarily  booted from the the group. No matter, I added another screenwriters group.

Writers  unless they are writing a diary face an audience. This blog, your novel, or screenplay even a note will be viewed by a reader.  You want that reader to be a buyer. Thus the caveat the customer is always right must factor into your writings.

So the question becomes how much reasearch should you place in a short story that you intend to .50 cents to 1.50. Being a slight perfectionist I find that authentic research about your topic  works find. But for a five page short story one must have a cut off.

When you research put your self a on  a clock. After all time is always money.
