when ppl ask me why I write science fiction, I love to give them grandiose answers like “well you see in the future, anything is possible, including the eradication of racism, sexism, and all of the cruel -isms” or “my imagination is too small to be contained to the world we know, you see” or “Ray Bradbury possessed me with the frenzied spirit of Ethereal Words after he passed and I Can’t Stop” but the truth is today I went to write that my character’s fighter smelled like fast food but I couldn’t think of what that was called for a second and I just kept typing and I wrote “quickfoods”

and that is perfectly acceptable

and that is why I write science fiction
