Introduction

Hello and welcome. My name is Sarah Gearhart, I'm 18 years old and an aspiring doctor. I've never been an amazing writer, especially when it came to pieces that required more "voice" or "colorful thoughts" . Otherwise, I will try my very best. That being said I hope you can manage to bar any imperfections. 

This is a blog strictly dedicated to the love, hate, and appreciation that I have for the genre of Science Fiction. Ever since I was a little girl my dad had a very strong infatuation for authors such as, Issac Asimov, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, etc. the list goes on and on. We spent many nights talking about the various intricacies of the stories and what it all meant. This has obviously had a profound impact on me; my dad inspired me to be a reader, and another devoted fan of SciFi. 

Not everyone understands why SciFi is so popular or how it has created big followings like the Trekkies, or the  Star Wars fans. Don't get me wrong, I am a Star Trek and Star Wars geek myself but because of it's mass following, bystanders have come to know the science fiction genre as only a Star Trek/Star Wars World. Unfortunately, if people aren't into the concepts exemplified in these shows/movies, they're completely turned off of the genre all together. I think a lot of people would agree with me that SciFi is so much more than that! SciFi (lit especially) delves into worlds containing post-apocalyptic settings, time-travel into the past and present, horror/mystery, and even topics that are popular in modern day society. 

I'm hoping that this blog will help you understand how vast and inviting the genre of science 
fiction can be. 

I think it is very important to mentiion that I cannot, will not, and do NOT, watch horror movies (or anything remotely creepy for that matter). I absoutely will read anything horror, mystery, or suspense related but the whole movie thing just freaks me out! I will try my best throughout my journey of wiriting this blog to attempt watching a FEW horror movies, but I make no promises that I will make it all the way through..

Finally, I am a proud and confident science geek. I love everything and anything science but I have a particular love for human anatomy and physiology. In some of my upcoming blog posts I plan to breifly review the plausibility of certain situations in my future readings/viewings. Of course there is no way for me to prove the actual science so I want to state clearly that any kind of science I try to disprove/prove will be based off of my own scientific knowledge, and personal opinion.
