I do think that short story writing is often a matter of luck.
I think that what's unique about sci-fi - at least from the view of a lot of Chinese writers - is that sci-fi is least-rooted in the particular culture that they're writing from.

I think I'm an American writer writing about Latin America, and I'm a Latin American writer who happens to write in English.
For every character, I think about who they are, their story, what they are, and who they were before their game started. What was their life like? Where did they grow up? What were their parents like?
