Everything Is True

Ada Hoffmann's author newsletter

One of my favorite moments from this week’s interviews was Arula Ratnakar’s discussion of using special interests in her fiction. For Arula, this takes the shape of hard science fiction incorporating science special interests, but of course a special interest can be anything from a particular TV show to vacuum cleaners to varieties of yarn.

If you are a writer, how do your special interests shape your fiction? If you are a reader, do you notice when authors use a topic they’re passionate about in their writing? I’ll start us off in the comments below.
