History

Read Hebrews 10-13

Hebrews 10:32 "But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;"

Some writers keep track of what historical event took place on a given day. We can write fillers for publications about something related to the publication’s subject matter for the time period the publication covers, for instance when the microwave oven was invented for a cooking or women’s magazine.

Writers interested in history might want to do a longer piece on a milestone anniversary of a historic event, for instance a fifty years anniversary. We might even write a book—even a children’s book—that offers more detail and tells the whole story of the historic event or how an invention came into existence.

Historical fiction is another way for history-savvy writers to go. While doing research, we might come across a little known historical fact that sparks a story idea, or might get so caught up in the era we’re researching, we can’t help but imagine a story of people who lived then.
