We find ourselves attached to fantasy worlds sometimes when it's hard to process what's going on in our world. It's reassuring to see the good winning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In all honesty, we all want our fantasy selves to be the best people. We all think in a time of crisis, we will react heroically and with humanity.
Once the world has been created, the fantasy author still has to bring the story's characters to life and unfold a gripping plot. That's why good fantasy is such a hard act to bring off.
We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
A lot of people have to deal with the feeling that their worlds are caving in.
I don't really understand why so many fantasy writers choose to focus on worlds that just seem strangely denuded. But to them, I guess it doesn't seem strange. And I guess that's their privilege. It isn't mine.
I played lots of fantasy games. I would create these worlds, and I would believe in them.
We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.
The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

We've pitched and even begun development on a number of fantasy worlds that have never seen the light of day. All of those worlds... It's soul-crushing to see them sputter out, one by one. Lost. Like tears. In rain.
