There
are a number of things which a student should learn while writing a science
fiction story -
1. Learning science can be fun.
When I was
very young, one of the fun things about reading (and writing) science
fiction was "The Game." To
play The Game, The Writer wrote a science fiction story, then The
Reader tried to find out where errors in science had been made. Learning science
in order to play The Game was much more fun than it was when learning
it just so you could balance some equations in Chemistry or to solve
pulley problems in Physics.
