I’d say all of these come with big caveats, for sure.

I’m mostly sharing because I was amused by what my unconscious brain was churning out.

Found this in my notes app.

I have no memory of writing it… likely half-asleep.

Was I onto something?

Letter from Tolkien to WH Auden, June 1953

Stories are like gardens that are nurtured — twisting along unanticipated paths, as they reveal themselves to even the authors.

If you relinquish all choices too early, give them up in the name of efficiency, fully formed from the outset — you lose something.

Wander curiously.

Notable people I’ve been told I resemble over the years:

- Actors Jake Gyllenhaal & Tobey Maguire
- Teemu Selänne, Finnish Hockey Legend
- Sam Riegel, Director, Actor, TTRPG Player

Some I kind of see — some I really don’t.

Maybe it’s the eyes?

What’s a completely trivial thing that is profoundly meaningful to you?

I always wanted to have a species, living or fossilized, named after me.

I’d love nothing more than to learn every fact and spread the word of its existence.

The same way Trek fans rally for anything, I suspect.

One way is online engagement on a topic — it’s used to gauge demand.

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.

It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.

If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!
