So I'm planning to write a Science Fiction Novel. Yes, me. I'm going to do that. Shocking.
I've spent most of my life programming computers, and when I started it was cards and more cards. Color coded cards. Key punch work. Sorts and lists. Tedium ad nauseam.
How do I get from that to where I want to be; which is writing fiction. Science fiction.
I was reading about the "snowflake method", or should that be "Snowflake Method" which is a top down approach which was something that was all the rage for Systems Design back in the 1980's.
I never wanted to do things that way. I was always a bottom up kind of guy.
But let's talk technique. I'd been wondering about quotes and how to quote the characters in stories.
We must never call them people.
I came across web page about quotes and it's concise enough that it deserves favorable mention. It's from the Writer's Digest University and here is the LINK.
