No Detail Too Small #MFRWAuthor

What I call  my greatest strength is attention to detail. This focus combined with a logical thought process stood me in good stead as a computer programmer and system analyst, as well as an author of history books.

You might ask what does teaching a computer to do what you want have to do with writing fantasy novels. A lot of detail goes into creating a novel. Backstory is the details of a character's life. Then the world needs to be described. Formatting to production standards may focus on a different set of information than backstory, but still requires attention to detail.

Another area of being an author that requires attention to detail is research --and I love to research. Digging in archives can keep me entertained for hours. Visits to museums have been family affairs. Even though I primarily write tales set in fantasy worlds of imagination or in worlds of yesteryear, research into this world helps make the ones I create real to the reader.

Attention to detail is my strength as it makes me a better author, editor, and proofreader.

Stop by the other authors to see what they are willing to claim as their greatest strength. The answers may surprise you.
