I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale. ↗
I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel. ↗
All I know is that I operate by going out to each of them and trying to learn the territory in which they operate. My language to each of them has to suit their brain. ↗
