Sara asked Eva Stachniak:

I'm writing a novel with fiction characters, but in a real historical time. out What are your advice about me? What is more important in writing something like this and what is not?

Eva Stachniak Hi Sara,
Are you concerned with choosing which historical events to write about? Once you understand your characters, you will know what is likely to impact or interest them. It really all depends on the overall goal of your novel. The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller by John Truby is a wonderful resource.
Good luck..
Eva
