Re: Writers thread

What should come first - writing or research?

(Context: I'm writing a piece that covers a broad range of eras. In the past, research has actually hindered ideas, but at the same time I don't want to be shallow.)

It really depends? I tend to plot and outline first and then from there figure out areas where I need to research. And then go to writing the actual fic.

I tend to do them in tandem, I will know the plot outline and probably start writing, but research on and off as I write, especially cause then I can look for specific things I need to know.

General idea > lots of research > writing, usually. Do not dump your research on the reader's head.

On the other hand, if you're quickly glossing over something, you could write first and then research that specifically to make sure you're not talking out of your ass (ancient Romans eating potatoes or something).

It really depends on what works for you.

Like for me personally, researching is one of my favourite parts of the writing process. Instead of hindering ideas it really invigorates me and give me new ones.

The bunny, then lots of research, then writing. It wastes time and energy to write stuff which couldn't have happened, or anachronistic attitudes, I find.

Re: Writers thread

Both at the same time. If you don't know anything about the era, do some basic research to start, but don't get bogged down. You don't need to know everything, just enough to start. As you write, you'll find new things you need to research (whether it's a broad topic or a really specific fact), and you can learn those things as you go.
