> what are the suggestions you have to a sci-fi writer? Write, write, write, then write some more. It's said that every successful author needs to get through 1,000,000 bad words before they start turning out good ones. Doesn't sound too far off to me. Then, read, read, read, and read some more. Don't focus on a single, or even a set of ideas. Focus on turning yourself into a writing-engine. Focus on the process, not the product. So, an essential part of that process is getting rejected. Here's one: Your ideas suck. So? Make up more. Ideas are cheap. Execution is hard. > some might get offended Fuck 'em. To paraphrase Steven Fry, Offence is for those who can't control their emotions. > Do you guys think I'm get in trouble for this? No, you'll just look like a dummy that doesn't understand evolution, speciation, and genetics. Hopefully you'll study up on the hero cycle and other plotting models. That'll get you further than your ideas stated here. People don't want to be lectured to by their science fiction. They want stories that pull them in.
