Re: Research

In order to write SF, I would recommend you to read science journals as much as you can. However, when you write about the science, you should write as vaguely as you can so that your average reader brain doesn't go numb. It's a difficult task at the best.

I personally read at least 6 science related sites from top to bottom every single day, plus I do my research on other matters in order to get an idea what is plausible to the people.

Fantasy is bit easier as you have more freedom in your hands, but thing is that you need to be an excellent storyteller to get your book published in this highly competed arena.
