Science fiction is a well-loved genre. It can be fun engaging, thrilling, and, if you're lucky, can stretch your mind to the limit of imagination. However, writing in this type of book might not be as simple as you think. Here are some ideas to ensure that your book is as good as you'd like it to be.
Think about the story first. Make sure it fits the genre.
Science-fiction is a genre. However, more important than the genre itself is the story. When you're coming up with your story, don't insist on fitting it into this genre. Instead, ensure that the genre is appropriate to your story. If it does not the story will look odd and forced.
If you're trying to learn, write science fiction fantasy, create a story you're certain fits into the genre, but when you've got already written the story, do not force it to fit.
Do something brand new
A lot of stories have been written. If you're writing your story, do something novel. If you're unable to come up with an original story, then try putting an interesting and fresh variation on an older story. The best way to draw your audience is to ensure he or she has never read anything like your story before.
Explore the world
When you make a fictional world for your science fiction book it is essential that you fully understand your world, as well as the characters of its inhabitants. The first step is to have basic concepts of the world as well as its people and its cultural background, but to make your world authentic, you need to investigate further and understand the most you can about it.
Even if the reader does not get everything you've described and the background information you keep in your head when you write will assist you to write about your life as well as the events that happen within it in a manner that is much more believable.
Double-check the information you have
Science fiction is fiction, however the science part must be plausible. Therefore, even when you speculate about the future of technology or other issues in your story, you must double-check your science facts to make sure your story is something that could be actually occurring. If there is no scientific base for what you write, your reader will have a difficult time finding a connection and getting engrossed within your story.
Every thing should serve a purpose
Don't incorporate something into the story for the desire to include it. Like any story all the stories you write be a necessity and further the story in some way. If parts of the story are added to make it seem more like a book about science-fiction, but with no added value to the story as they would draw the reader's attention to the story, not engage the reader. The story is the first to be written, and the science-fiction elements are derived from the story.
Many of us dream of sharing our ideas and thoughts to the people around us by way of a book. Many of us fail to move beyond that thought because we don't even know where to begin.
