        Practical stuff - notes about the nuts and bolts of writing fiction.
        So you want to write fiction? Okay ....

        1. Ten minutes a day (compulsory minimum). A lot of things work this way: learning to play the trumpet, learning Japanese, and so forth.

        2. Log time worked, eg "Started work today at 1pm, finished at 1.05pm, cumulative time worked today 15 minutes, cumulative time worked this week one hour."
        The point here is that you must have an objective measure of progress, otherwise you're just going to be kidding yourself. Measures that I have used at one time or another include:-
        (a) time
        (b) words written
        (c) stories submitted
        Right now, the measure I am using is time.
              
        3. Build semantic fields (beach, sand, ice cream, charabanc, sunburn, suntan lotion, windsurfer, sea, yacht, ferry, motorboat, navy, flag, binoculars). This can be done daily as a warm-up exercise.
        Question: What is a charabanc?
        Answer: I have no idea. This stuff has been sitting in my files for years.
        Note: you don't have to build semantic fields, but if nothing else is working then it may help. A lot of writers (including me) gather materials before starting.
              
        4. There is nothing wrong with a simple, direct declarative statement, eg "He was sad." "She was lonely." "Jesus wept."

        4a. The last sentence you wrote is good enough. At a pinch.

        We could think of (4) and (4a) as a doctrine of imperfection.

        5. Narrative text is indicative rather than exhaustive, eg "The cubic white buildings of the Greek islands" rather than a complete Baedeker.
              
        6. A good narrative begins with a promise, delivers on the promise, then goes on to add something more. The promise can be implicit: "At the beginning, the household seemed utterly normal; there was no outward hint of the undercurrents." Or the promise can be explicit, eg "Sing, goddess, of the wrath of Achilles, the son of Peleus"; "On the day of his assassination, the President woke as usual at 6am."
