My local college football program has a new head coach. He’s inspiring his troops and his fan base with a new slogan – Attack The Future. I think it fits for writing Sci-Fi. Don’t back pedal into the past, attack the future with your writing. Search for new ways to do things while still honoring the old. Be bold and write about what the future holds in an exciting and uplifting way.
Oh, and GO BRONCOS!
I like his approach, Ken. And as you say, good advice for us writers.
