But what about . .
Were the authors aliens? space warriors? archaeologists? superheros? dinosaur hunters? super
heroes? escapees from a sinking ship? "a boy clownfish, stolen from his coral reef home"? No, but
they sure did write about these worlds convincingly.
"Write what you imagine!" is perhaps a better guideline to follow, as Lajos
Egri might well say. So much of good writing is about the life of the imagination, imagination
that can be fueled by actual events, real life experiences, books, dreams and all manner of other
things. Writers create new, unexplored imaginary worlds no one, including themselves, has ever
beheld. Encountering these imaginary worlds offers moviegoers escape from humdrum existence, a big
reason they frequent dark cinemas to begin with.
