These days it takes me 3-6 months, depending on the length of the book and how many times I have to stop in the middle of writing it to edit another project. =) (From what I can gather, I'm a pretty fast writer compared to others though. Just a warning.) I usually do the mass of my research for a week before I start writing, then I keep researching as I go. I find that I need a working knowledge of a setting as a foundation, but I don't need every detail right away. I'm usually reading a research book the whole time I'm writing, and looking up a gazillion little questions every day. Which kinda answers the balance question too, I think.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-62675866929532151402014-03-12T12:30:27.030-04:002014-03-12T12:30:27.030-04:00I don't have a great memory and can't reca...I don't have a great memory and can't recall or recite everything I read in book either. <br /><br />I was watching on the History channel regarding Edison and Nikola Tesla. Tesla actually had an amazing memory where he could think of an invention in his mind with precise dimensions then construct it.J.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248267015658076920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-2552685395288779332014-03-12T12:15:28.029-04:002014-03-12T12:15:28.029-04:00How exciting!!

I have a few writing questions, if you don't mind....<br />How long does it take you to write a novel?<br /> How long do you usually research for? <br />How do you balance research with writing? <br /><br />Thanks!Emily Ann Putzkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663345569249469554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-809450294968756032014-03-12T10:58:27.499-04:002014-03-12T10:58:27.499-04:00That's definitely awesome!

He remembered well enough that his scholarships paid entirely for college and then some - pretty good for a poor farm kid in those days!Rachael Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235781577625847862noreply@blogger.com
