The Importance of Environment in Science Fiction and Fantasy

A writer, particularly in science fiction and fantasy, I think you should be stretching the most. How much food do you need to carry versus how much food are you actually going to be able to forage? The ecology that you use in your fantasy world doesn't even have to be weird but at least take the chance to step outside of Europe. There's a reason why when we talked about story structure, we talked about kind of these archetypes, these tools of story structure.
