How to Write a Science Fiction Book

i hadn't quite and understood the impact that changing my my place would have on my ability to thinkit, kind of package up an idea for a book. Some of the topics in the book were inspired by new zealand. I've a whole chapter on earthquakes. As a californian, you know that the sismic activity is a kind of part of daily life. And that's very much the case here. So there's lots of new zealand itself kind of woven into the narrative. i'm sure that it's had an impact on on the types of stories i wanted to tell.
