I plot each story i'm writing on a single page of A4, so 30ish points or so describing at a high level what is going to happen through the book. I'm not a stickler for this, so if I go half a dozen lines over or under that's fine.

Typically I'll spend anything from 2 - 6 weeks putting the plot together, and in the process i'll flesh out some of the story arcs for individual characters, usually as separate biography note for the character.

Once I've got the outline to a point where i'm happy with it i'll start to write, researching the fine detail as I go.(less)

I know it probably sounds a bit odd, but all my stories are written for me in the first place, and while I plot my stories at a high level before I start writing, there's a huge amount which I still need to 'discover' along the way, things which I find out about the characters, scenes I get to see, plot details I get to guess about.

Sometimes creating a particular scene or event within the story can take ages to get just right, but when you finally figure out the angles so that everything works its great to be the first person to read it.(less)

The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies by Clark Ashton Smith – A Review

Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) is one of those authors that I’ve been aware of for decades, but whose works, beyond the odd short story tucked away in an anthology, I’ve never gotten around to reading. This despite the fact that he was a close personal friend to H.P Lovecraft, and member of the Lovecraft circle, a regular contributor to the Weird Tales magazine.

Whether my neglect of Smith’s works
