11 minutes of your favourite unknown sci-fi author rambling about how he wrote that easy-to-read book that's actually quite complicated under the hood. I will go a bit into my writing philosophy, a bit into how the 47 stories interact with each other, how there are 11 universes they fit into, that sort of thing. Good for writers wanting to learn how to make a book. Whilst my experience is specific to me, it may help to know that you need a philosophy. That is, your universes needs physical laws. It needs to have consistency within itself, otherwise you will lose your way, as will the reader. Even nonsense stories have a structure (to talk nonsense). This is a prequel to Halfplanet Classroom.
