Be yourself: more about this blog.

You may think that my web sites ("EnterTheStory" and "AnswersAnswers") have nothing in common, but they are the same thing really: they explore ideas: they explore alternate worlds. To understand my take on books (EnterTheStory) you need to understand my goals (AnswersAnswers). I need to understand the world in order to try and fix it. Yes, I know it sounds crazy. That is just who I am.

I see ideas, including ideas in fiction, as thought experiments. They look at the world in a different way and say "what would happen if...?"


I used to have a conventional job. And a conventional blog. And I made almost conventional games. And I did the things you were supposed to do: I started threads on conventional web sites and I encouraged people to play my games. But none of it felt right.

I am not a conventional person. I cannot succeed in the conventional world. So I gave up, and now I concentrate on what feels right, and just hope it makes sense to somebody.


If you recognize the links between AnswersAnswers and EnterTheStory you will understand this blog and what I am trying to do. You will also understand my interest in religion and the value of comics as efficient ways to explore ideas. I hope you get something out of what I do, and find it worth a few minutes of your time.
