Writing processes
The process of book writing is different for different people.
I planned what I'd write for quite a while before beginning. I had a lot of fun writing. I was laughing in some places and crying in others, and that carried on into editing. I found editing to be just as much fun, and I read my novel start to finish about 30 times during editing and beta reader feedback.

question:
I had a heart attack and subsequent (6) bypass surgery the year before, and as I was recovering from that, I decided it was now or never. Writing the novel was a wonderful experience; I'm hooked! I'm presently planning out both a prequel and a sequel

| A very exciting and positive installment in the Honor Harrington series. | |
“And here we are today, with stupid people still doing stupid things to other people. The king of California who rigged a bomb in his office building, so if anyone ever killed him, he would kill them back. A king here in Venezuela who enslaved people to make toxic chemicals that other people would buy and make him rich. Chemicals which would make those people slaves as well, needing to take those chemicals again and again until they died from them.”

“After a few seconds of silence, Peter asked, “Do you know why they did it? Why they killed most of the people on the planet, and civilization at the same time?” Lucy shook her head. “Nobody knows, I think. Just stupid people, doing stupid things. They killed their enemies, but it made their enemies kill them at the same time.”

“What trade brought you to Venezuela?” Peter smiled grimly. “Not trade. Lately, I've been somewhat distracted by other concerns. I suppose I could say it's a matter of protecting the ability to trade.” Alberto saw his face take on a fierce look. “There can be no trade when people take whatever they want from others. Including their freedom — or even their lives.”

“Fryer paid second graders $2 for every book they read. This reward for inputs—something students can control directly—did change behavior and ultimately led to higher grades (though that is not what the students were rewarded for).5
