Can action, sci-fi, and fantasy worlds inspire real world outcomes? Heard at a session with Marc Bernardin, Naren Shankar, and Emily Carmichael about building worlds at the ScreenCraft Writers Summit 2021:
Example. Star Trek inspired real world inventions.
Build on earlier stories because it’s hard to come up with something unique.
Stephen King said about keeping in touch with the real world: Writers must be readers.
Make sure you have something to say for that world. Must do the deep thinking to make it work.
