On writing and light pollution....

I read an article today that really struck me, so I'm posting about it. I talk a little bit about how I write fiction and why I do the research the way I do. I just want to make sure that everyone realizes that I'm talking about what works for me. Mine is not the One True Way, and I'm wouldn't dream of criticizing anyone who does things differently. If there were ever a medium for YMMV, creative writing is it.
