I was recently asked how I could keep a whole made up Universe inside my head.  First mistake was assuming thats where my brain was.  It can be eaiser than it sounds if you know how to use your God like powers.

Its like the saying, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"  When creating a scifi universe it does make a sound.  As a matter of fact just before the bark hits the grass, the grass changes to a bright, blinding, holy white that spreads around the trees and through the forest floor into the surrounding meadow and across the planet.

 

When I write I focus on my characters and their reactions the first time through.  When I do my first rewrite its like I dropped my characters in a puddle and their universe are the ripples.  A scifi universe like any other universe is only as big as the characters can see.  I find if I can describe in detail a small part of my made up universe the reader can fill in the rest, actually it become his made up universe.
