There wasn t much science fiction in India, but I loved to read Sherlock Holmes, Sexton Blake, and others like him. During this period I was writing social stories and reading science fiction. In science fiction, if the story is believable you can write anything. I decided to write science fiction because I could use my imagination. Obviously, science fiction writing is all up to a writer s imagination.
Some writers use so much science, they forget about the fiction.
It sounds like you have worked hard to develop strong characters and storylines. So, even if someone does not have a strong scientific background they can enjoy a good story. This is an excellent observation. Most people never realize it. You see, there are two types of fiction, hard and soft.
