The other advantage for your scifi of being a scientist in your real life is that you have a picture of all the current research. Don't build stories on outdated science from the 20th century. I legit take notes on every seminar I can get to, even if it's unrelated to my thesis. Bc it's for scifi.
My advice to aspiring young hard SF authors who can go to college is literally to study science. You need to love it to the point of wanting to become it to write really good hard SF. If anything feels like a chore to study, it’ll read like a chore too. Don’t write it if you’re not in love with it.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

I'm sure no one remembers this shitpost but me, but I need y'all to know I actually did this, every time I didn't have a fic title picked out ahead of time. (There are, incidentally, more versions and editions of this label than you could ever imagine.)

Ugh, I can’t stand this publishing startup. They pay people to write fan fiction — they tried to commission a story from me. 831 Stories was founded by MBA brains who saw how lucrative romance is as a genre, and their branding targets lit snobs who think they are better than romance.
831 Stories is all-in on the romance genre, and the founders are cultivating a whole world around the books they publish, complete with fanfiction and merchandise.
With 831 Stories, romance fans get more than a steamy read
