Many have been drawn toward the brilliant world of science fiction and fantasy writing, and have asked the question: should they even attempt to write books as complex as fantasy and science fiction? Portals spilling the unexpected into new worlds, realms, mutants and half-breed are all part of the fun character you would create. If you are tuned on by stretching your imagination beyond the pop-zone, and want to explore endless configurations of humanoids and downright nasty flesh-eating monsters, then read on.
The starting line for any great stride in career changes, or to add to an existing one is to know thy self. What has kept you up all night-for all your life? What is that thing you yearn to do that you have not done yet? A powerful imagination is not a fleeing moment but a lifelong proposition. It’s stuck inside of you and must be released. In a positive way, please.
Most fantasy and science fiction writers literally see into those realms before they create them, and no, they are not demon possessed. They are the stuff that great movies like Avatar and Ironman were made from. And let’s not forget the Matrix. Can you see yourself in any of these creations?
