Started work in earnest today on my next #SciFi novel, a space opera inspired by Thucydides & dealing with ethical dilemmas in wartime. Major question of the work: How can one build proactively when others' destructive actions constantly compel triage-based response?
Process differs for every writer: I'm of the school that endlessly revises the first 20% of a story before I can finish the draft; I need the initial cadence *just* right to set a tone for the rest.
Still, it's a start! #AmWriting
@MLClark, that's a fascinating process. Thank you for sharing it. I'm always curious about how different authors arrive at a finished draft. Good luck with the rest of the writing.
@NikkiBuschEdit Thanks, Nikki! In the writing world, there are always people who think they know The One Right Way to write (usually, the method of just banging out a very rough full first draft, then fixing it all in editing), so the rest of us try our best to make sure newer writers know the only "right" way to write is whatever way works for you. Appreciate the well-wishing! :)
