I’m on day two of my research for my next feature but already, perhaps prematurely, starting to worry about when I should stop researching and switch to the actual writing. Or is there an ideal equilibrium to be achieved by researching part of the day and writing otherwise? It seems like it’d make the most sense to collect all the relevant information first, take in any information that might add to the depth of the characters and the authenticity of the story. But at the same time, is there a maximum amount of intel that can be reached - and even overflow to the point where I feel overwhelmed? I think my strategy will be research until it stops being exciting and starts being fatiguing. Can always take a writing break to add to the research stockpile later.
