This is what we, as responsible writers, do \u2013 strive for authenticity. \u00a0More so, this is what we wake in the morning itching to do\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Researching is one of my favorite aspects of writing, it makes me giddy inside.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elisabetta (Lizzy) Moretti, the 23 year old Sicilian woman who is the protagonist in my Destiny Series was born on paper over 15 years ago. Lizzy evolved again and again over the past years that I\u2019ve been writing her and she continues to evolve but one thing has remained the same, Lizzy is a thief. She wasn\u2019t born a thief but she fell in with the \u201cwrong crowd\u201d somewhere along the way, you\u2019ll have to read the book to find out the nitty gritty of how and why; and she was well trained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When Lizzy learned how to lock pick I <a href=\"mailto:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch%3Fv=aYNoEIV12io\" target=\"_blank\">learned how to lock pick<\/a>.

Within a week I could pick the deadbolt on my front door with a paper\u00a0clip (actually 2 paper clips as one is used as the tension wrench) in under 30 seconds. No, this did not make me feel safe but it did make me feel quite accomplished. That\u2019s when I realized I\u2019ve always been a lock picker. It started when I was a wee tot and would pick the bathroom locks with broken off Q-tips, the cardboard ones, not the plastic ones. I didn\u2019t understand the mechanism of a lock (<a href=\"mailto:http:\/\/www.crypto.com\/papers\/notes\/picking\/\" target=\"_blank\">tumblers and the shear line<\/a>) then but I still had the innate ability to do it. Maybe it\u2019s because I was locked in my room without food for days as a child, true story. Or maybe it\u2019s because when I set my mind to do something I do it. Persistence-are-us. Who knows why? It doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What matters is throwing yourself headlong into that research.<\/strong> Almost as if you\u2019re an actor and you\u2019re <a href=\"mailto:http:\/\/www.methodactingstrasberg.com\/methodacting\" target=\"_blank\">method acting<\/a>. You become your character. Lock picking can even be a metaphor for whatever it is you need to learn in order for your character to be believable and well rounded. You could go into your story and character development giving them a skill you have already mastered, one you\u2019ve always wanted to learn or one you knew as a child but forgot somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9351.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11750\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9351-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9351\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9351-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_9351.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>What I\u2019ve learned from writing thus far is that a majority of it crawls up from the deepest, darkest hidden parts of ourselves, clawing and scratching its way to the surface in order to forever stain the whiteness of screen or paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.RainaSchell.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.RainaSchell.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11407\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3310587.jpg\" alt=\"Author, Raina Schell\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3310587.jpg 204w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3310587-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Raina Schell\u00a0lives in an undisclosed location near Marin County, California with her secret boyfriend, invisible dog and a fish named Larry.
