Getting trapped in the Research Vortex is easy to do.
I wrote a short story about a week and a half ago. There’s a bit of questionable tech (okay a lot of questionable tech! It’s a space opera). So I decided to do some research on lasers.
While I found out a lot, I sucked myself into the Research Vortex. That means I have yet to finish the next chapter I’m supposed to have done this week, but I know a lot more about lasers than I probably should. Damn.
Research is important. But it’s worthless if you don’t put it to use. That’s why you should schedule your research rather than let it take over your life. Like world-building it can be time consuming and fun! But it’s not writing.
Butt in chair. Write.t
