This is me being interviewed in detailed on the nuts and bolts of writing technique.
Very interesting interview of @aptshadow.bsky.social . As an amateur want-to-be sci-fi author, I’ve found so many great insights about writting good sci-fi. Concept of One Big Lie is a very useful thing, for example.
