Read Moretuning perception
if a story can said to have an objective, it is to tune our perception to specific experiences. My theory is that stories have universal themes, but they change to adapt us to our circumstances. The content doesn’t have to be true or historically accurate, but the story has to elicit advantageous behaviors for the…
Read MoreLegacy – figuring out how this document works
Now we come to the trickiest part of the inventory, dealing with the planning and vision documents and consolidating them into an accessible master reference. One approach might be to categorize – technical, and story. Those are two categories but how do they help? What’s wanted is an approach for storing the insights so that…

Watching the days tick off in capture, there’s nothing for it, time passes. What we must be sure of is work on DOG each and everyday, progress on all frontiers but most importantly the priorities. What I mean by priorities is those that most support our self worth, motivation and joy.

Read MoreAlexander analogy
Thinking of the Alexander analogy, when is an army big enough? When it’s big enough to win. I don’t need an ever expanding budget, just enough to make the movies I want to make.

Read Morean idea for story
an idea for story, a premise, scenario. the broad scope, what happens. then each scene along the way is it’s own universe, it ‘s own assignment with a beginning (start here) and ending (arrive here). we know from the broad scope or outline the crucial points, writing the details is just a question of defining…
Read MoreMultiple universes, Christina
Agatha Christie just for fun, was she writing out of one cosmology or more than one, eg were ghosts possible or impossible for her? the story of the dumb girl with multiple personalities suggests either spirits or a sophisticated model of cognition, perhaps beyond her time. thanks connie willis. i can continue with rebuilding the…
