Welcome to the podcast &#8221; How to Write the Future&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this podcast, we will explore how to create optimistic stories. The How to Write the Future podcast is for science fiction writers who want to create positive futures. Because when we build positive futures through our fiction, we are visioning what is possible and therefore we help make it so,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi everyone. I&#8217;m Beth Barany. I am an award-winning science fiction and fantasy novelist and fiction writing teacher. I&#8217;ve built multiple worlds for my three fiction series. And I&#8217;ve taught hundreds of writers to do the same, helping them bring complex worlds to life that feel real, as real as this reality, if not more so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m still writing and publishing in my science fiction mystery series. So this podcast is for me too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will be sharing core principles of world building and interviewing experts to tease out practical questions that you can use today. These will be coming from wide ranging domains to help you brainstorm the details of your story world and bring that world to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to my first episode. In this episode, I will share with you what this podcast is about and why I&#8217;m starting it. This is a work in progress. So bear with me as I stumble, get up again, stumble, get up again, you know. Nine times fall, 10 times get up. And that&#8217;s actually part of my journey. I wanted to be a writer since I was a child, and I wanted to be a fiction writer since I was about 18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, when I was 30, I sat down to truly commit myself to learning how to write fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we are here to explore how to write the future specifically over the last six or so years I have been focused on writing my science fiction mystery series, and I realized it wasn&#8217;t enough to just be curious about science and have a great love of science fiction, but also needed to understand what my new world was going look like. So I started digging into how do futurists and foresight leaders predict trends to help organizations and governments and NGO and multinational companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And as I dove into those tools and came across systems theory, I realized, wow, these would be great to bring in to my fiction, to help me design my future worlds and also help other writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because I&#8217;m a teacher at heart, as well as a creative storyteller, I love taking what I&#8217;ve learned and putting them into lessons for other people. And because I&#8217;ve read tons of fairy tales, and, folk tales, since I was a child, and have been steeped and fantastical stories since the very beginning, when my parents were reading stories to me, I, I just love being transported into those new worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, I&#8217;ve always loved science. I was pre-med from age six to about 19 when I said, Nope, no more pre-med but I kept my love of science. So I&#8217;m bringing all of these passions to you to help you create vivid worlds. I know readers love my stories. I, they tell me, they&#8217;re like, ah, I could be there too. And that&#8217;s what we want to do with our fiction. You want to bring our readers there. So that world feels real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because I have experience helping people take ideas and turn them into tangible stories, I will be bringing that useful hands-on insight, so that what we&#8217;re learning in these episodes is going help you specifically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the episodes will be me just talking about my interests and turning that into a practical how-to for you. So I will ask you questions and invite you to bring it into your story writing. Other times, I plan to interview experts in various fields.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am so excited to bring to you some of the topics that I am planning to dive into. Some of the topics include specifically systems theory and how can we use our understanding of systems &#8211;we&#8217;re all living inside of multiple systems &#8212; how can we use that understanding in creating new systems?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also plan to interview experts in various domains. I&#8217;m very interested in the space industry, so that will be one of the domains, but I&#8217;m also very interested in consciousness and what makes us human and AI. So I&#8217;ll be bringing those to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot more topics that I plan to bring in, including different kinds of story structures from around the world, bringing in tools of foresight around how to read the signals, bringing in different mental models of reality and how we can use those to create new realities and a lot more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m really excited to bring this adventure to you. I hope that you will join along. Tell your friends, bring your questions to me via Twitter and LinkedIn. I will also have a way for you to sign up so you can be notified when I release a new podcast. My ideal is to release a podcast episode every week. We&#8217;ll see how that goes. I&#8217;m new to this. So bear with me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have always loved science fiction and fantasy. The worlds as much as the adventures, but I know how it can be a struggle to build those immersive worlds. So I&#8217;ll be bringing tools and insight and great questions for you to bring into your story world in upcoming episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you so much for listening. Signing off. Live long and prosper.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>RESOURCES\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of Writing Resources available on Writers Fun Zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=writing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/?s=writing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>Connect with Beth Barany\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BethBarany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Twitter<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bethbarany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>LinkedIn<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>CREDITS\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>EDITED WITH DESCRIPT<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/email.descript.com\/e\/c\/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6IlJNRExCUUFBQVlIdXhVUDF2MFhEWTFWS2FfWHAyUT09IiwiaHJlZiI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRlc2NyaXB0LmNvbT9sbXJlZj1fdzFXQ0EiLCJpbnRlcm5hbCI6ImMwY2IwNTAzYTE5YjAxYjJkYTA2IiwibGlua19pZCI6MTU2OX0\/25f8341a8209bb3d0da94d7824926b9cac821d677d7fd7bcd9f01c0282653ea7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.descript.com?lmref=_w1WCA<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(referral code)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MUSIC CREDITS\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/uppbeat.io\/t\/soundroll\/fuzz-buzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/uppbeat.io\/t\/soundroll\/fuzz-buzz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>License code: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UMMKDRL02DFGKJ0L. \u201cFuzz buzz\u201d by Soundroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Commercial license: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/musicvine.com\/track\/soundroll\/fuzz-buzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/musicvine.com\/track\/soundroll\/fuzz-buzz<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Distributed by Buzzsprout: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/?referrer_id=1994465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/?referrer_id=1994465<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (referral code)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW PRODUCTION BY Beth Barany\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW NOTES SUPPORT from Kerry-Ann McDade\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more &#8220;How To Write the Future&#8221; episodes, go <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to invite Beth onto your podcast, drop her a note\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/contact-beth\/#contactbeth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHow To Write The Future\u201d is a new podcast from award-winning author Beth Barany.
