My early color coding. I used a lot of orange. 🤣 Gotta be organized in animation production!

My very first production notebook was this Nickelodeon studio gift that had interchangeable covers. They didn’t have any Glitch Techs covers though, so being the GT Nicktern, it was my job to print some images from our animation test for the entire crew!

I found my old daily to-do lists from when I worked on Glitch Techs at Nick. Man, those production days were PACKED. (Pardon my horrible handwriting…😬)

@JessiLRoberts @AbigailFalanga Yeah there's something to that! As a kid I loved mystery stories before I ever discovered fantasy, so that could be why the Sanderson approach works so well for me.

@Evergreena @AbigailFalanga For me, knowing how the magic works helps. I read Sanderson's Laws of Magic and realized that was why I didn't like Doctor Who. Because I couldn't understand the thing that fixes the problem of the week. I want to feel like I could have figured out the solution.

I think this is why I've struggled to get into Sanderson. His style doesn't appeal to me much, not enough to keep me around. And meanwhile, the lack of awe and the "beyond" makes his stories feel empty.
J. Holt the Illustrator@jholtillus

I read Mistborn because so many love it. Sanderson's species of magic is non-mysterious. It's entirely calculable and comprehensible. There's no "beyond" that we struggle to grasp. Whether fantasy or not, I always want to sense that I'm standing in awe at the edge of infinity.

Book haul. I got a stack with a gift card from Christmas, and my husband chose this cool edition of Dracula (the red is velvet).

@AbigailFalanga Also I will admit that Mistborn is probably the most "sciency" of his magic systems. Stormlight (my personal fave) has many more layers, and some of those layers are more divine/wondrous in the "awe"-some sense. Kind of like the difference between alchemy and mythology.

@AbigailFalanga That's really interesting! For me, his books actually tend to feel MORE wondrous. There's always another secret, which encourages speculation and discovery, and the "laws" of the magic make it feel more immersive IMO. But I can see how his approach wouldn't click for everyone.

@authoradraeanna I should add that I barely wrote any of that early story. I spent lots of time imagining how the plot could go but never finished it.

@authoradraeanna If you don't count a derivative superhero book I wrote in early elementary school (I mean, come on, "Supergirl?"), then it would be a story called "The Secret World" about an orphan who becomes a mistreated servant girl and finds a magical world in a closet. And she had a dog.

I'm curious: If you published the very first (original) thing you ever wrote, what would the book be about? My answer in the comments.

@AbigailFalanga EXACTLY. The one time I posted about a nuanced "current issue" I cared about, it didn't end well. Friends from vastly different parts of my life ended up yelling at each other in the comments, and one of them hasn't spoken to me since. Never again. It's just not worth it to me.

This is exactly why I never, ever post about anything remotely political! Do I care about stuff? Of course. Do I want to get into a stupid conflict that gets nowhere and builds nothing? No thank you!

False. What it actually means is: "I don't want to get into a nonsensical fight with you in which you are likely to hear everything I say in the most uncharitable way humanly possible and then conflate my character with my understanding of what is or isn't happening even though I am doing my absolute best" and the sooner everyone understands this, the better.

@AbigailFalanga ...Oh. I was today years old when I learned that "Dubai" was pistachio... I just thought it meant "fancy chocolate I probably can't afford" 🤣

It's funny how everyone everyone suddenly discovered that Pistachio Is Delicious Actually, but we still can't call it pistachio because that's not good enough. Oh no. We have to call it "Dubai" for some reason!

Tolkien reading "The Ride of the Rohirrim". On his birthday, there is no better thing to do than to listen to the professor reading one of the most iconic scenes from The Lord of the Rings
