I'm not doing the level of conscious planning that you seem to be doing, and I'm not agonising over each sentence. I'm working with the theory that revision comes later, and what matters is getting things out and on the page.

Its actually working quite well as I realise things about the story and characters as I go along. I'm finally understanding what some writers say about characters telling them what they want to do, and about the plot spontaneously complexifying, to use Charlie Stross' words.

So writing a lot and learning a lot!

And I should have an article out in a popular astrronomy magazine in the next few months as well!
