For someone who still gets anxious when faced with numbers, writing often feels surprisingly like maths. Just now I am going over (again, again!) the first part of Tome Two.
All the time I am saying things to myself like "Does this add up? Does this truly make sense? Have I got this right?"
Or things like "Is this bit logical? Does it fit into the pattern of the plot? If I do x and y, will I end up with the right answer for the reader?"
Words and phrases are all very well but sometimes intense calculation (of a sort) is needed. Thank heavens I don't have to do it like a Ten Minute Test.
