There are almost as many genres of writing as there are authors. For each author, there is a reason for writing. This is true for traditional writing mediums (such as books) and new media like blogs as well. Why authors write and what they choose to write about can be surprising and exciting. One of the most exciting and boundless writing opportunities is in the area of science fiction.
There are many reasons to write a science fiction blog. Perhaps the best reason is that the field is far from saturated, on the contrary there are few if any fantastic science fiction websites. There is some free science fiction out there, but too many of them have bland commentary; they simply expound on what is currently the rage from Hollywood. Unfortunately the media moguls in Hollywood have terrible judgment in this area. Why they are ignoring great science fiction short stories from the past century?
Time travel offers a great topic for science fiction short stories. Time machines, paradoxes, disasters, are all rich fields offering many unique stories. But what makes a great time travel story? It’s always about something you never expected such as a butterfly crushed on a boot, or a wife’s murderer who just happens to be a time traveling senator. In one book messages sent back in time help prevent a global disaster caused by the startup of a new powerful atom smasher. (Hopefully this is fiction). What we need is a new time travel science fiction blog.
But aliens and robots truly capture our attention. People scour the internet for either aliens or robots far more than for free science fiction or science fiction short stories. Everybody wants a robot butler. Everybody wants to know if alien abductions are science fact or science fiction. Have alien robots visited the White House, has an alien ever been elected? Now that would make a great science fiction blog post.
The time for science fiction is now. Aspiring writers with a science fiction stories trapped in their heads should come forward and be heard. People who have always been interested in becoming an author, but have never found the time to get started should start writing today. There are still so many science fiction stories yet to be told.

Books are the quietest and the most constant friends of the people. They are the most accessible and the wisest counsellors, and the most patient teachers. One should always try to read something that would make him or her look and feel good. To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate conversation with men of unseen generations- such is a pleasure which one gets while reading books. In fact, books help us to enhance our language skills and expression capabilities too. Best friends, good books and an awakened conscience can be the ideal lifestyle of any literate person. The art of reading can be described as the art of acquiring a better understanding of the life. The fiction books actually comprise those literary works which include imaginative narration.

It was a privilege and delight to watch the bold and energetic, Robert J. Sawyer, reading the first chapter of his new book and answering …
For me it’s Dune by Frank Herbert. Other authors I liked were Ray Bradbury and George Orwell… I do not consider Stephen King science fiction… he is many things but rarely that. Please don’t answer Dracula, Frakenstein, or and other books that are based more on horror than on actual science fiction.
Please do not put the Bible… even if you believe it’s fiction… it is NOT science fiction.
