There’s one certain thing, and that is that you are the CEO of your own work, so you could make whatever artistic decisions you wish. I approached last week the idea of when and when not to include copious details in your work, on the fact that too much at the wrong time could actually slow the pace. It would seem that by suggesting that you are the CEO, it doesn't matter when or where you put the details, but the rules are just the same. Too much detail kind of slows the pace of your story; not enough detail may detract from interest in the story.
However, as the CEO of your own work, you have the right to
make decisions without reference to anybody else. It is nice when you are given
positive feedback and advice, but as in all aspects of life, you can choose to
ignore advice, irrespective of how good it is. Being your own CEO allows you
total freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression is the gift that writing gives you. You
can change the details of existing situations, adjust timelines and time scales, and be as futuristic as you wish to be, among other things. This is
only limited by your imagination. It should be the source of
inspiration for your writing. What I’m saying is you can write whatever you
like, and no one else has the right to deny you in your wishes. Of course, if you wish to sell books, it may be necessary to take current trends into consideration.
God Bless
