Meeting That Audience

Just got the question.  (I suppose it was inevitable.)

What do I mean I'm writing a novel about special relativity?!

Okay, let's pause for a second.  All artists - whether we admit it or not - are entertainers.  If we're not entertainers who meet our audience where they are at, we will not be artists for very much longer.

That said, yes, I am most definitely studying relativity theory, both special and general.  After all, it is a lot to visualize.  How much will I use that in my new work?  We'll see.

I promise you this, though:  Only so much that it entertains.  And not one jot more.
