For my science fiction novel (it's considered "soft" sci fi, BTW = no spaceships or travel), I just set it in the future when pretty much the whole world was wiped out and...yeah. Too much work to read about wormholes and create spaceships and the like. <BR/><BR/>But I love reading about that kind of stuff, and yours sounds like the world would be so believable, that I'd be able to buy almost anything you told me.<BR/><BR/>Great job! Love the speculative fiction take on story-worlds. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-8769023119775510932008-09-16T13:13:00.000-05:002008-09-16T13:13:00.000-05:00Very cool!

I have the utmost respect for writers (such as yourself) that take the time to actually set up a BELIEVABLE world or future. <BR/><BR/>The amount of research that goes into writing historical is huge, but it doesn't take near the amount of research, combined with understanding and imagination, to create a sci-fi world. <BR/><BR/>Good post!<BR/><BR/>:) TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-63209458898549571222008-09-16T00:32:00.000-05:002008-09-16T00:32:00.000-05:00Nice post Sandra!
