Stop Writing Characters Who Drift. A flat story often traces back to one missing piece.

Editing isn’t always polishing; it’s surgery. Today I found myself elbows-deep in Needle’s Edge, reworking the timeline of a pregnancy that had overstayed its welcome. That meant pruning contradictions, relocating scenes, and stitching the flow back together. Tedious, yes, but the continuity is sharper for it.

Spent more time editing Needle’s Edge than drafting it. Editing isn’t polishing, it’s grinding, chiselling, archaeology. Most recently, I unravelled the plotline from an Inception-style labyrinth of flashbacks within flashbacks. I even diagrammed it (image attached), if only to prove I hadn’t lost the thread entirely.

Three Good Things: The Ecofiction Writer Edition
Epic book day: got novel #1 (The Erenwine Agenda, fracking focus) layout output done for new edition to be published with my new name change (going back to my given name, Maia Chowdhury).
Did the “accept all changes” on novel #2 (Otter Coast, medical marijuana focus) and stripped the Word document of macros, ready for book layout. Pub date for Otter Coast: Dec 21!
And just picked up the printed first draft of novel #3 (Rail, high speed logistics focus)- super rough, finishing the first pass during Nanowrimo.
As I went to Staples to pick up the print I thought “I am a writer!” It only took me 3 novels to say so to myself (it’s in my bio and LinkedIn but to say it and mean it to myself is another thing).
Does that qualify as 3 Good Things? I think it does.

Are there any #Fictionwriter #FictionBooks people out there? I was an academic (child dev psych) for many years, &wrote a lot of chapters, papers etc& a few edited books. I published my 1st novel #OnTime last year& am now working on the sequel. It’s about time travellers who become entangled with their ancestors in a very unexpected way… It would be nice to chat to other authors& readers. #AcademicMastadon #readers #HistoricalFiction #SciFi #SciFiBook
