I imagine that there are two types of readers: one who wants to read the tech with the story and one who wants to read the story...if that makes sense. <br /><br />Oh yes, driving! I've had idea-attacks while driving before too, LOL. And so much stuff comes to me while I'm at work. I totally understand that. I have a small notebook I keep in my pocket. When there's a moment's pause, I usually pull it out and write the idea/thought down *snickers*Kyndra Hatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761591722562940149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489119001327113456.post-83558359016322999952011-03-29T16:45:30.312-04:002011-03-29T16:45:30.312-04:00I think that as far as 'tech in sci-fi' wr...I think that as far as 'tech in sci-fi' writing goes, there can never be enough. I mean, its SCIENCE fiction, after all - where's the science? LOL! I do have to agree though, that there does have to be a balance, as precarious as that may be, between too much and not enough. If you are describing a whole new world/thing/technology/whatever, readers need enough of a description to at least get a good grasp of it, but not so much that those that don't really understand, or aren't interested in the 'technical' side of things don't get bogged by it. It is a hard place to find, but I truly do believe that science fiction technology needs to have a good founding description.<br /><br />As for the random ideas/thoughts striking me? They like to torment me while I am either driving, or while I am at work and do not have the moment to scribble the idea down somewhere. Silly plot(insert creature here)s ambushing us at the most inconvenient moments!Jessie Gearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05653487250764328396noreply@blogger.com
