I have been busy. I wrote 10K on "Her War of the Worlds" (same invasion, different perspective) over the weekend and I've been putting together some nice pictures to go with it.

Over 5700 words written today on "Her War of the Worlds" (same invasion, different viewpoint), which catches me up on how far I was behind, and a bit ahead.
Tomorrow the first Martian cylinder lands.
Also finished this 3D render showing, Helen Latimer, one of the FMCs. The other FMC, Jenny Bell, is the one who fired the shot.

Things I've thought about after reading H.G.Wells's "War of the Worlds" multiple times - for research.
The Journalist is a selfish prick. He saw Ogilvy incinerated but made no attempt to tell his family.
A couple of well-placed grenades would have solved the problem from the start. Yes, they had grenades in 1899 but any small bomb would have sufficed. (Lobbed into the cylinders before the Martians got organised.)
Yes, I know the point of the book is highlighting the hubris of humanity. (Nothing's changed.)
#WritersCoffeeClub 11/7. How detailed are your plans before you write?
There's no single answer to this because every project is different. Mostly I have an idea of the MC(s), the setting, and the end.
For "Her War of the Worlds", I am constrained by the timeline of the original book but while the FMCs start in the same area and experience the same events on Horsell Common, what comes later will be completely different. (It's also a romance, and not told in the same style.)
I've pantsed a 100K crime novel with a twist ending I didn't see coming.
But my SF stories are so complex (many POVs and throughlines that have to end in the same place) I have to know everything.
But mostly I just like pantsing with an idea of how things are intended to end.
I experience the story the way the reader will (almost).
