On the off chance that hearing me ramble about how I write can help someone else write better (or at all), I'm composing a series of articles on the steps I take from start to finish on my stories. Expect new episodes no less than weekly. I plan to publish seven in total:

0: Understanding The Medium
1: The Statement of Purpose
2: World Building
3: Outlining
4: Creation
5: Proofreading
6: Publication
