Author's Angle: How do you make your characters meet?
How do you introduce fantasy or sci-fi technology without overwhelming your readers? In this quick worldbuilding tip, I share a "middle ground" approach to introducing new tech in your setting. Using a simple microwave analogy, I explain why you don't need to break down the heavy mechanics. Instead, focus on what the object does, establish clear constraints, and leave just enough mystery for the reader to unravel along the way. #worldbuilding #storytelling #amwriting #writer #writingcommunity #authortube #fantasy #sciencefiction #ScienceFantasy #Lonesquire Many think we live in a world of numbers.
