When I set out to Write A Novel in college, a very wise person gave me this advice: if you write a page a day, in a year you will have written a novel. If you write two pages a day, in a year you will have written two novels."

Personally, for most of my longer fics, it works like this: I write as far as I can, get stuck, move on to writing something else ... but keep coming back, every few months, to reread, polish a bit, think about it. (In this period of time, my backbrain is chewing over the problem.) Eventually, I figure out what got me stuck and fix it and go on from there.

Saavik ... I only have one of the novels she's in, and that's Pandora Principle, which I highly recommend. It can be read as fitting into the Rihannsu universe. I've read all the other novels she's in, but it's been some time. ANd anyway, they aren't really compatible with Rihannsu, which is my canon, so.
