Planning/writing
• It’s not just getting your ideas down on paper
• Storyline ‘thread’
• The clearer and simpler (straightforward) the better
• Do not assume that readers will grasp complex mechanisms/concepts or understand nuances; if it’s complex, simplify it!!
• Overall, there must be a step-wise simplicity that takes you through the story
• Any gaps have to be dealt with – they will be spotted!
• Do not assume anything!
• Don’t start writing until you have a story and a plan!
Over-complexity is a killer!!
