If we ever make contact with aliens, I don't think that communication will be an easy problem.

I base this on the fact that I have been able to establish a language with both our dogs. It consists of signs and words and sounds and even body positions.

Seeing things from their perspective has made me a better storyteller.

Life is collaborative in practice. If both parties had been sapient, I imagine it would be easy to establish a basic translation mechanism.

I got about 50k words into a draft and I hit a wall where I wasn’t happy with how it was going.

So I started over. I’ve been using the parts I like, I worked out a bit of an outline, and I am now 20k words into the new draft. Happy with the progress and changes so far.

Feels like I’ve done a whole lot already and then still so much to go before I even have a finished draft of the full story. But hopefully taking this time now makes the later revisions a lot easier.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 27: How does your social class influence what you write?

Tink is lower middle class, but she works her way up with skill and old fashioned grit.

The Doctor has a realization after the events of Skaro take place. The loss of his regeneration energy has him pondering things.
