Stuff

I finally did the first session of my rpg campaign on Monday. Ben was estatic, but he thought the session itself was too short.
I felt sick on Monday, but I did it anyway, because I knew it would make me happy not to put it off any longer. I needed *something* to make me happy. Monday was my birthday. Being sick on your birthday stinks.

Eyes of Infistar stands at 13?? words, but I didn't write yesterday, and I won't write today. Got some stupid stomach bug dragging me down, and I couldn't sleep last night, and now I'm too tired to concentrate.
But at least I am started.

And I've got no email, I think I'm going to go into withdrawal!
Okay, so I won't really, but only because I'm still *getting* email, I just can't send any right now.
And I'll tell you, that's growing old real fast. I hope the tech people have emailed Boyd with an explanation by now.

Author's Note on the Cultivator Universe

I had created two fantasy worlds, and wanted to do a science fictional one. But I kept having problems. I could build a science fictional universe around a story (see Black Flag for an example of a universe built around a specific story) but to just build one that stood on it's own was for some reason giving me trouble. I finally realized that it was because I was tripping over the fact that science fiction universes are often seen as a continuation of ours: a possible future. My imagination was choking over my conviction that I was incapable of guessing what the future would be.

So instead of creating a possible future, I created an impossible one.

As soon as I had detached the universe I was building from the real world and real life, by centering it on a concept that was scientificly impossible, I was free to be as scientificly rigorous as I wanted to be in everything else. At the same time I remained free to ignore scientific realities when I thought they were getting in the way of a good yarn. The best aspects of both worlds were mine to play with.
