New writers are often baffled when trying to choose a point of view for their stories and novels. But, actually, the choice is easy. Over ninety percent of all modern speculative fiction is written using the same POV: limited third person. "Third person" ("she did this; he did that") means the story is not told in first person ("I did this"), or the always-irritating second person ("you did this"). That s easy enough.

What basic concepts and approaches qual ify a story as true speculative fiction, and how SF and fantasy differ from one another. 2 World Creation How to build, populate, and dramatize a credible, inviting world that readers will want to share with you. Dragging ideas through "the idea net" of why, how, and with what result. Developing the rules of your world . . . and then abiding by them and making them matter: the rules of Time, Space, and Magic. Working out the history, language, geography, and customs of your invented world. 3 Story Construction Finding a character for an idea, or developing ideas for a character to enact. Qualifications for the main character: who hurts the most? Who has power and freedom to act? Should the viewpoint character be the main charac
