You are fond of literature and would like not only to read other people's works, but also create your own. Fiction is closest to you: you can put a hero in a fictional world, send him into space and wind up such a tangle of adventures that no reader can tear himself away from your book. However, the form of the story also has its own limitations.
Instructions
Step 1
The first principle is fundamental, it also applies in the case of science fiction in general, not only with stories: do not try to outwit the existing reality and present the fruits of your tortured fantasy to the viewer's judgment. You still cannot escape the real world in which you spin every day, and the same laws will apply in your book. In the end, a story that describes some kind of fictional world or space travel, is intended to point people to some problems in their real life, should correlate with everyday life, with our world, in which there are no starships or six-legged horses. no stupid giants. Only then will it be a work of art, only then will your story remain in the minds of people.
Step 2
Think about the storyline and the number of characters right away. A story is not a novel in which there can be as many characters as you want, several storylines and a time span of several decades. Develop, if possible, one or two storylines, pay more attention to the main character and his immediate surroundings. Be prepared for the fact that, most likely, you will be able to reveal not a complex of problems of an entire era, but a few private moments, which, however, may not lose their importance from this. Remember, brevity is the sister of talent, and there is more to be said in one short story than in a whole thousand-page novel.
Step 3
Do not overload the reader with the details of your fantasy reality. Don't confuse it with the interweaving of the plot. Do not crush with flat jokes. In no case should you imitate someone: in science fiction it is immediately noticeable and is not encouraged by anyone. Science fiction is a popular trend. Here you can give free rein to fantasy, do without actual knowledge of the real world. And the alternative reality inspires people much more than this one. Therefore, there are many works. It is very difficult to find "your string" in this sea. No need to imitate, say, Tolkien, and write about the hobbits for the hundredth time. Better come up with something of your own.
Step 4
Think about the syllable. Science fiction is also literature, albeit mass at the moment. You need to work not only on the details of the described costumes, but also on your text. No matter how developed your fictional world, your separate planet, do not forget to take care of rhetorical figures, beauty and harmony in the construction of sentences, the colorfulness and accuracy of epithets, valuable phraseological units and humor. Without all this, your brainchild, no matter how much soul you put into it, will not last long on Olympus fiction.
