Thanks for all the ideas. I’ve enjoyed brainstorming along side Carrie. But I have a question.
How do you write super articles, when you’re not a leading expert in a certain field, just a person, whose imagination can’t/won’t shut off.
This is my current struggle and frustration. I have the ideas and the ability to write, but my expertise is ‘limited’ by publishers’ standards.
Do we have to be qualified to write the stories we desire to tell?
Or are their other ways to prove ourselves to the publishing world?

I echo Valerie. I have no expertise other than a vivid imagination and unpublished (as yet) books to offer.

Now comes the work!

Okay, here’s a question:
Could a short story - almost a flash fiction - be a Superarticle?

Also, I’m a bit behind, but w/ the 1-sentence summary thing, what do you recommend when you have multiple main POV’s? Just go with the most interesting or key one?

Here’s what I’ve pulled from my WIP - It’s just one of the main characters:

“A disillusioned widow is ordered to enforce a tyrant’s religious code.”
