I found this article to be interesting from a Science-Fiction-Author perspective. After all, Sci-Fi Authors have the power to create any world we can envision. I love this facet of writing and articles like this motivates me to write stories that have a larger diversity of life.

I have a book in development which is a follow on to my series Gemini. In that story I’ll be sending some aliens from one world to another world of intelligent insects. They’ll spend time there working with them and helping them through a revolution before the story takes a different and more exciting direction. I’m looking forward to writing about how an intelligent insect world will work. What will the social structure be, how will they eat. What will the pyramid of creatures look like and how will they interact. Will they live in multi-story buildings, will they have subways, what will their social and religious structures look like.

After reading this article I’m going to spend more time filling out the world they live in. Even now I spend a lot of my ‘wondering time’ thinking about that world and how the pieces fit together. I’m anxious to get to that project, and I hope you enjoy it when it’s published.
