: Re: Can a person get bogged down by science fiction research? I discovered my interest in writing a few years ago. I was extremely stressed out from work, and so out of the blue, I sat down

A simple answer to your question: Yes. Research can be a distraction , even an excuse, for not writing. Of course, you need to do research, but it isn't actually writing. I would suggest get writing and then do the research that you find you need to do to fill holes. The answers to the questions will either become obvious as you write or will need work at the time. However, if you never start writing because you think more research needs to be done, you will never actually write. Notes and questions aren't a story.
