Be an interplanetary spy ...

They just don't make interactive entertainment like they used to in the 80s ... Think of the children!

Some relatively real issues ...

``Getting outside of the box, is more than just getting out of the box and walking away ...''


Every scientist is a child ...

We brain scientists, we try to figure out how to figure out how the brain works ... and maybe even how to fix it sometimes, and its alot of fun ...
for me ... I'm compelled to do it... my dreamy childish mind was made for it ...

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”  -- Pablo Picasso

On that vein, would you mind me asking, I'm very curious, what motivates you to write? I'd appreciate it if you'd try to describe it ... where do the ideas and truths come from I mean ... is it impulsive? ... is there a process? Do you get into a "high" state?  Do solutions come in the shower? Do you wake up with solutions?  Do they come as you fall asleep?  Is a story a problem to solve at all ... with many arduous iterations, or does a prototype just flow out, and then a few corrections here and there ... how many stories do you write and throw away for 1 "good" one? If it takes an hour to read, how long does it take to write ... Do you observe your process, or does it just happen ... appearing and dissappearing, or do you write all the time ...   do you see where I'm going with this?  or am I waaay off the money ... you see I wonder about the mental landscape of your creative process ... is it another climate or not ...

Sorry, maybe you feel like a specimen being studied ... or maybe you've seen it all before ... just wanted to throw that out there ...
