“The best time to start writing iswhen you’ve done about 50% of your project. Don’t wait until you’ve finished 95% of your project to start writing because you’ll probably waste a lot of time if you do. By that time, a lot of data you collect may not be relevant to your narrative.Periodically you have to step back [from your bench work] to ask yourself: “What aspects of my project remain new and exciting?” By about midway through your project, you should start to see the big picture — which may be different than your original idea! — and you should focus your energy on that.”
