All of my books are based to some extent on real cases, some more than others. The corrupt security firm MorSecure in Cached Out, for example, is closely based on a real company.

If you're poor at spelling and grammar, then choose another endeavor. However, just because you're a good speller and grammarian doesn't mean you can write well. Read lots of books and reviews to see what works with readers. After you've written you're book, let it sit at least two weeks, then go back and fix it. You'll be amazed at how much you see wrong with it. It will be better when you rewrite it. It's hard to "kill your babies" but it probably needs to be shortened.

I'm working on a science fiction novel. This is new for me.

I don't need inspiration. I always enjoy writing. When I'm not writing a book I'm still writing my blog.
