As the creator of the entire world, I have deep insight into their motivation, thought processes, backgrounds, and cultural influences. It is not only necessary, but fun and fascinating, to become immersed in the situations and feel as though we are friends.

When I sit down with my laptop, an exciting subject makes it easy to come up with new ideas.

The tropical weather, lush vegetation, and breathtaking nature influenced my mentality. I also took many other vacations to clear my mind and focus. Different surroundings help me to understand life as a cultural outsider and make it easy to describe aspects of a science fiction civilization.
