Peggy asked Brenda Novak:

Do you write about a subject that you fully know about? Or is an interest in something sufficient to bring about a knowledge that you would write about? Thank you.

Brenda Novak Research is an important key, Peggy. I read enough about a subject to be able to write with authority--but not so much that I try to add every interesting detail that I learned. You only want to put in as much research detail as the story needs to be understood properly as it moves forward. :)
