After Quote by Ashwin Sanghi

“After preliminary research, I zero in on an idea, and then I spend at least four months exploring the topic and in plot-building. I jot down every single detail of the plot as bullet points per chapter, and only when the skeleton is complete do I start writing.” quote by Ashwin Sanghi
