"Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not." - Isaac Asimov This piece is intended as a bit of a Help guide, a point of reference and hopefully something people will enjoy, as ultimately all of you will have different experiences reading and writing science fiction, and writing in general. If nothing else, I hope it inspires you to try your hand at writing Science Fiction if you haven't already.

This is mainly short story or full length stories you can write. I find these mostly on Pinterest because I spend most of my time on there. But some may be from me. This can be a daily thing for you to become a better writer so there might be 365 chapters or more Updates will be somewhat everyday. Enjoy! 😀 (The picture on the title page does not belong to me and credit goes to the original owner.)

There are some variances in style from country to country (and even from American publisher to American publisher.) **It may be easier to search the Table of Contents, as there is no rhyme or reason right now to chapter order.**
