Today, I'm talking about making believe
out of the reality or in my case - world building. I'm working on a
new sci-fi so I'm elbow deep in developing a world. Planets – how
many? What are they liked? What lives on them? Etc. Since I'm a big
fan of not reinventing the wheel I look for inspiration in things
that already exist.
The picture shows a cute little
furby something you would want to give a child to cuddle BUT in the second book in my young adult
series - The Warrior Queen they morphed into deadly flesh eating
creatures of the underworld. The humpback angel fish lives in my
sci-fi world – I mean how could it not? I'm still developing the
charactists and it's role. It will play a part in the farming
community and will probably not be a fish but some sort of herding
animal.
Writing is all about
taking something 'normal' and adding a dash of your imagination. An
ordanry couple becomes interesting when
dead bodies start showing up in their bathtub. A dreaded boring
business trip becomes life altering when the CEO's of the competing
companies are kidnapped by terrorist. Of course, they find each other
incredibly attractive;)
What were some of your
favorite everyday situations that an author twisted into an exciting
plot?
