I’d like to be an expert on something important. A real expert, the kind that might get called to serve as an expert witness in a big court case…or before Congress. Wow, testifying before Congress as an expert. That would stroke a person’s ego, wouldn’t it?
I know some experts like that. One is Jane H. Bock, forensic botanist. She knows so much cool stuff that she even gives lectures to crime writers.
Yep, I wish I was an expert on something important, just like Jane.

I think everyone is a master of something – just have to find out what it is

Pat – Oh, I know what you mean. I wish I were an expert, too. But I think we are all experts in what we write. No-one knows our stories and characters better than we who create them. So really, you are an expert :-).
