I'm Aerin, a university student with a major in History and a minor in Creative Writing. Despite my major, I have never actually written Historical Fiction, instead sticking to Sci-Fi and Fantasy. I have been looking for an active place were I can get advice from other writers for a while, so I'm excited to be here!
All of them involve space travel of some form and are set at least a century into the future. Only a few involve aliens, but when they do I make them quite nonhuman in both physiology and culture.
Your history major is a useful tool in your toolbox. George RR Martin and Harry Turtledove make use of history in their writing.
Hello and welcome Aerin, you've come to the right place for support and encouragement. Looking forward to seeing you in the forums.
