#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 25. What comes first: setting, character, plot? What comes next?What comes first is a Gigantic Idea (hey, I write SF) with far-reaching implications that alter the shape of the world (the setting) the (eventual) characters move through. As we are products of our environment, there's a feedback loop as I figure out how the GI will change people. (Bear in mind that in SF, the setting *is* a principal character.) Then, and only then, do I begin looking for a plot.
