Just came across this
on Facebook and it reminded
me of the movie, Sliding Doors, and
how there are many possibilities – yes, the fact that we are living inside a
fictional world might be an option. I have a world of my own – created it on my
drop-leaf table last year, and am now in the process of choosing places where
my characters live. I mapped the city plan out on the back side of old
wallpaper, coloured some of it in and pinned it to my kitchen wall. I'm a
world-builder and make all the rules and everything that comes to pass falls
out of my head – even death.
Watching the TV series, Game of Thrones, I'm always impressed
with the map in the opening credits, and I love the map in The Lord of the Rings books; these
things inspire me to make maps – I must expand my world view…fictional world
views are much more interesting than those in the real world. Just think, I can
invite anyone and anything to dinner and serve up quantities of imagination…and
anything might happen at any time during the meal. Who would you invite, and
what would you eat…and what might kill someone at that table?
