In reply to JOHN T. SHEA. I love this! When I think "architect", I think in terms of buildings, but there's definitely crossover into other large-scale structures someone could design.

Thanks for this! My WIP is set largely on an ocean liner and has a naval architect as a major character. He rebuilt the very old ship and keeps it going through all sorts of danger and mishaps. He became a more important and useful character than I first expected, explaining technical matters in accessible language for both other characters and the reader.

We writers are like architects in a way, planning (or pantsing!) our stories and erecting them level by level. Unlike most architects though, we can and do go back and improve (hopefully!) our work even after it’s first ‘finished’.
