I’ve said this before… I now understand why all extraterrestrials come to Earth…. So their authors do not have to invent anything. As a new writer of sci-fi, I had hoped into my starship, skipped across the galaxy at .5 light-speed, landed on an exoplanet of my choosing… and came to a screeching halt. SHIT! I…

If you are a writer of sci-fi and have traveled to other worlds, as I have, then arming yourself with a visual aid of the weather can add drama to your work.

A rocket science friend sent me an article posted on the BBC, titled: “How will the universe end, and could anything survive. “ The article contained some known (Big Crunch, Inflation) and unknown (Heat Death, Phantom Dark Energy) concepts to me. But reading through all of these got me thinking: how many sci-fi works have…

I was reminded by a G+ post, by Ralph Roberts, of the brilliant Dava Newman and her recent appointment to NASA. When writing Sci-fi, think about what your characters are wearing, in space. I had viewed a TED presentation by Dava Newman, of her work, on EVA design. It was such a valuable visual…
