I'm imagination in the real. I'm an educator and Realist / Futurist. I believe in what can be and not just fiction. Information leads us to factual outcomes. Scifi & Fantasy are always based on something tangible. Because Advanced Technology is always mistaken as Magic.
I make mistakes in writing on purpose so that you know we are human and make mistakes. I never do a draft only the original. Why waste time in my head. 
I use Original Characters and Tangible New Technology. But use Base stories and Original creativity to expand possibilities! It all leads to strong interesting possibilities and outcomes.
