1 - Read Stoker's Dracula, Pratchett's Jingo, Shreve's Body Surfing for scenes and technique. What details do they focus on? What keeps me reading? When do I become engaged? When do I lose interest? Why?
2 - Write a clear cut scene with the voices that I want in the genre I want. What works about it? What doesn't work about it? What would the rest of the novel sound like in its finished form?
3 - Can I let rip writing this one and create something that is fun to read for the reader too? Whatever the answer, it is all valuable experience.
