THE PROBLEM WITH REALITY IS IT’S SO EASY TO SEE.

Here I am again. Now, let’s open another door, okay? Don’t be afraid of trying new things.

It takes extra effort and imagination to explore your own mind in order to write a story. Sometimes you may want to write about reality, but sometimes you may not.

It is terrible when you want to write about something, but you have no idea about the subject! All you can do is try to explore the innumerable subjects that are possible. You can write about technology in your stories. Many writers have imagined that. It is known that in the near future, technology, or the progress in technology, will be almost spooky, as smartphones seem to do incredible things. Maybe they will read their owner’s mind, I don’t know!

How about this: start writing about the way you see the future. It doesn’t have to make sense in a literal way, remember?

Let’s practice a little bit. Write five lines about the way you see the future, say, in ten years’ time. Envision something radically new. Mention all technology available in that future.

NEVER FORGET: You have permission to borrow and steal from other people’s idea of the future. Use theirs for inspiration in order to build your own world. Take George Orwell’s 1984 as an example.
