Hey Everyone!
I have been having a bit of troubling in creating interesting plot lines in SF! I'm not really used to writing in this genre, and as such I'm finding it difficult to create a creative piece of writing that effectively incorporates SF conventions. Does anyone have any advice/inspiration?
Would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Hey, one thing my extension teacher got me to do was brainstorm current issues and then choose some and brainstorm extensions or absurdisms for those
For example - say one of the issues was same-sex marriage, an extension/absurdism of that could be alien/human marriage or robot/human marriage
Or, he got me to brainstorm human relationships with the other - so I came up with a huge list of like slave, master, partner, God, worshipper etc. and then you can take one of those and expand it into a story
And remember, your story doesn't have to be on a big scale or address a whole world - my one is about a mother and a child and doesn't go into great, grand detail
