&lt;p&gt;While researching for your sci-fi or fantasy novel, it can be helpful to draw from your own personal background and interests to enhance your story. For author Terry Persun, his background in science and engineering helped him better understand and explain the concepts used in his novel. He explains how using personal expertise can help you easily fall into the colloquial rule &amp;quot;10% of your research goes into the writing, 90% isn&amp;#39;t included.&amp;quot; Listen as he shares his tips for how much research and technical information you should include in your story and how to make sure your story is wrapped around the science &amp;ndash; not the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
