But it requires a hell of a lot more effort.
I’m working on a coaching review of a research proposal now and the author is either being extremely vague or, alternatively, is speaking in a language that only an expert in the field can understand. I don’t have enough knowledge of the field in question to know which one. But in order to give my client valuable feedback, I need to find out.
That means that I have to pay even more attention to the content and do a bit of peripheral research to familiarize myself with the field. It’s a lot of extra work as a coach, but on the other hand, one of the reasons I do this is because I love learning new things and editing research proposals exposes me to a wide variety of fields that I would not have thought of before.
And so many of these fields have the potential to become magic systems in future fantasy novels!
(Please understand that I have no intention to write poorly, myself, and would never encourage someone to do so deliberately, I’m just trying to find joy in the tasks in front of me!)
