What’s up Jotham?

Hey y’all, I hope this email finds you safe and well. No matter how you found my newsletter, thank you for joining.

I know what you are thinking, “Jotham, what is this Rabbit Hole of Research?” Well, my newsletter comes out twice a month (this is the goal), one edition will feature an author interview, book promos/samplers and giveaways; The second edition will explore the quirky science in fiction. Also, I say Handwavium a lot. Handwavium is a fictional material used to smooth plot holes.

So, a couple quick hits and no Handwavium.

Speaking of Handwavium, a question I get occasionally is how does a research scientist balance using Handwavium to write Speculative Science fiction or Paranormal stories and staying Actual Factual.

So, little secret, I don’t try to keep any balance. I do a bit of research about things that I may use in a story to learn more about the history of paranormal legends and think about how these phenomena can be explained using science fact, or research how a technology may work and the limits that exist today and push past these limits in a “speculative” way to create interesting plot twists in a story. Yet, after I do research, I often put it away and focus on writing the first draft, and not let the Actual Factual box my story in. It is in latter drafts where I square the Actual Factual using as little of Handwavium as possible to plug those pesky plot holes (which I like to explore in the Rabbit Hole of Research).

Speaking of werewolves and balancing the Paranormal with Actual Factual:
