It's a challenge because it sometimes slows me down or even derails me in the middle of writing a scene, as I suddenly have to go and double-check that I'm not muffing a detail. It can break my flow, and I need to get better at remembering to check these things when I'm outlining, rather than when I'm writing. 2/4

And yes, I know, I don't have to adhere to such a ridiculous level of detail! I choose to, because I like the idea that actual San Franciscans might read this and remember going to that very same restaurant, or enjoying that warm summer night, or whatever. And if I ever find that minor details like these are getting in the way of the plot, I'll discard them on a case-by-case basis — i.e., if it would really help... 3/4 #WritersCoffeeClub
