Moving the Action Figures

Davy has reached the storytelling age.

Mix and match scripts from Zelda and Room on the Broom and Daniel Tiger.

John Hodgman reminding fiction writers that we're just playing make believe.

And that's where the magic is. 💫

"Then suddenly, when you're writing, a character will say something that you didn't think of.

Of course you did think of it, unconsciously. It's from your brain.

But only from a part of your brain that would never have been activated until you sat there and moved the action figures around enough."

John Hodgeman, This is a Secret Society

Being different in science fiction

“There is a thing that happens in science fiction where there are characters that have something that makes them special and important and valuable in the science fiction universe that tends to mirror something that when it expresses itself in our prime universe it makes them weird.

So I always felt like a weird outcast kid cause of the stuff that I liked. And I really identified with characters, especially in Star Trek where the thing that made them weird made them special and valuable.”
