On my creative process…

In fiction, while I feel these needn't be mutually exclusive, I believe immersion is more important than realism. The audience must first and foremost feel immersed in the story. If it's a story that depends on a realistic tone or basis, then yes--research, corroboration, and detail should be included to make sure it is sufficiently realistic, because that adds to the immersion.
