I usually outline in enough detail that I know should happen next, so skimming can be achieved with little loss of momentum.

When I come to fix it later I try to break the amount of detail down further, keeping in mind what the scene needs to achieve, and what needs to happen.

Often if I'm having trouble writing a scene, there's something more fundamental wrong with it. The problem may be easier to see when the first draft is complete and you have the larger picture in a more concrete form that when you got stuck.

Is the Political System Fit for Purpose in the Modern World?

Parliament’s handling of Brexit has descended beyond farce into tragedy. It’s just embarrassing. And mystifying to the public, since all we hear from them are soundbite slogans, most of which don’t make much sense if you consider them for more than a few seconds.


News coverage doesn’t offer much help. It feels like it’s all surface, with any in-depth investigations considered too confusing for the
