[SKRIVA] En red:s skrivtips

En amerikansk publishing editor ger sina tops om skrivande:

Fullt av do:s och don't:s. Utdrag:

"If you are writing a science fiction novel, give the story a solid science 
foundation, and don't deviate from the rules of science you might invent for 
your story. If you do, the whole story falls apart from that point on. You have 
to build a seamless story, even if it's invented science of the future. Star 
Trek, the TV series, was groundbreaking because the scripts were based on solid 
science and fictionalized extensions of science. You don't have to give 
exhausting detail of how something works, but it has to be reasonable enough 
not to knock the reader out of the narrative. I have read submissions where the 
SF author simply invents rules as s/he writes, then invents illogical 
circumstances to justify the change of rules, and this instantly weakens the 
story. Make your science believable within the fiction."
