Nå, ifall det är så enkelt som att det blott finns sju steg mot att skriva strålande science fiction, må vara osagt. Men här ges i alla fall en "kurs" i just sju steg: http://io9.com/how-to-write-a-great-science-fiction-novel-in-7-easy-st-1565393502 Steg 1 är: "Great sci-fi /sic!/ begins with an idea. Unfortunately, as people will tell you, all the good ideas were taken long ago. But that's only true if you believe ideas are indivisible, like, "A guy goes on a journey and experiences personal change" covers everything from Moby Dick to me visiting the bathroom. In fact, ideas are totally divisible. There's no idea that you can't make new by filtering it through your brain.The way to tell whether an idea is good is to see if it makes you feel like writing about it. There are no other criteria. I know that sounds trite. But it's true. Many people have great-sounding ideas for books but never write them. That means they are bad. The ideas, not the people. The people are probably bad, too. If an idea can't clear the first hurdle in a marathon, a marathon that has hurdles in it, then it's a bad idea. It is as bad as the idea of having a marathon with hurdles in it." --Ahrvid -- ahrvid@xxxxxxxxxxx / Follow @SFJournalen on Twitter for the latest news in short form! / Gå med i SKRIVA - för författande, sf, fantasy, kultur (skriva-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, subj: subscribe) info www.skriva.bravewriting.com / Om Ahrvids novellsamling Mord på månen: http://zenzat.wordpress.com/bocker C Fuglesang: "stor förnöjelse...jättebra historier i mycket sannolik framtidsmiljö"! /Nu som ljudbok: http://elib.se/ebook_detail.asp?id_type=ISBN&id86081462 / Läs även AE i nya E-antologin Sista resan http://www.welaforlag.se/ebok.htm#sistaresan / YXSKAFTBUD, GE VÅR WCZONMÖ IQ-HJÄLP!
