How To Write Science Fiction And Fantasy - Plot & Excerpts

World Creation Stories start working on you in a thousand different ways. I’m going to give you some personal examples, so you can see something of the process one writer goes through. The point is not that you should do it my way, but rather that there is no right way to come up with a story concept.
1. Where Ideas Come From I was sixteen, and my older brother’s girlfriend (now his wife) had urged me to read Isaac Asimov”s Foundation trilogy (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation). It had been years since I last read science fiction regularly, but these books so enthralled me that I wanted not only to read more science fiction, but also to try writing it. At the time I supposed that to write a science fiction story you had to come up with a futuristic idea. My older brother, Bill, was in the army, having just returned from a tour of duty in Korea, and so military thoughts were on my mind.
    One day as my father was driving me to school through the bottomlands of the Provo River in Utah, I began trying to imagine what kind of wargames would be developed to train soldiers for combat in space.
