1. Fricken love this post. I literally just got done pre-writing a blog post for next week on this exact topic. Great post, as usual, Zachary! I totally agree with all your points.

    Excellent. Completely agree. I have copied this quote from Ursula Le Guinn into my journal, and think about it often: “My job is to keep the meaning completely embedded in the work itself, and therefore alive and capable of change. I think that’s how an artist can best speak as a member of a moral community: clearly, yet leaving around her words that area of silence, that empty space, in which other and further truths and perceptions can form in other minds.”

      Tangent: I picked up some of UKLG’s short stories from the library and realized we need to spend a lot more time talking about UKLG around here. She worldbuilds like a house on fire and plays with perspective like whoa.

What do you think?
