Facts

Read Ezekiel 40-42

Ezekiel 40:30 "And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad."

Facts can be very boring. Statistics and lists—there’s no inherent drama.

But the pieces we write need facts. Readers depend on the accuracy of our nonfiction and expect nothing less than truth.

Our fiction needs facts, too. Some readers will be more familiar with our worlds than we started out being and we will want to do a thorough job of researching to keep the reader in the story world. Even science fiction and fantasy need fact, even if it’s only an internal set of detail that propels the story world.
