What The Best Sci Fi Books Should Try To Do Away

By Marylou Forbes


It is only natural for readers and writers to try the science fiction genre. It is all because of the fact that in science fiction, almost anything goes. You can do anything to the story, for the writers. You can read almost any plot twist, for the readers. It is really interesting to delve yourself in science fictions or fantasy stories.

It is actually more interesting for authors to break the rules when it comes to writing the best sci fi books. This is most likely because breaking the rules is the only way for a fascinating story to be told. For those who are interested in writing the story, here are some of the rules that must be broken.

First, you should try to do away with the third-person omniscient. This means that yous should avoid having to use a third person narrative where the readers can see what is in the head of every character of the story. In a nutshell, you should avoid having to expose everything through this third person omniscient.

Infodumps are actually common with the science fiction genre but it should be avoided. If possible, you should avoid having to right technical schematics and even backstories that overload the information dump of your readers. It will just bore them out if you go ahead with this kind of style.

Try to complete your book in one publication. This means you should avoid those conventions where a science fiction stories span three books, four books, or seven books. If you can, you should make it so that there will only one book needed for the readers to be satisfied with the books you published in the market.

Try to create a plot where the story does not have to rely on a portal to have the fantasy take effect. Most of the fantasy stories these days take on the premise of having discovered portals or have accidentally fallen into portals before they are taken into a new world. If a world can be discovered without going through portals, then that should be good.

You might also want to do away with light travels and space travels. You can do better with your science fictions when you go ahead with other plots aside from delvig into quantum physics where you can turn back time or where you can jump from one time period to another. You can stop using time machines for this.

Instead of using magic as a vital part in science fictions, you might want to consider it as a minor part of the world. Do not just rely heavily on it when you want to write this genre. There is more to science fictions and fantasy stories than just the magic that you can produce from wands or with the wave of your fingers.

Try to use the present tense appropriately. Some of the writers these days say that present tense is disconcerting. However, it can actually work out better if you want to make your story feel more immediate. There is a vague arty literary presence with the use of present tense in your science fictions or fantasy stories.
