Optional discussion: fantastic or imaginary things
Sometimes it’s necessary to write about things that don’t exist in reality. Whether it’s dragons or space ships, they have to come from the writer’s own mind, or borrowed from other works.
Do you write about fantastic or otherwise nonexistent things? How do you create them? Do you use another creator’s plans, like placing your characters on pre-designed spaceships? Do you draw on years of history, like the many stories involving dragons? How do you make these things your own?
