"The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos." - Hayao Miyazaki
I saw this quote earlier today and have been thinking on it a lot. I do a tremendous amount of world building in my day to day life, spend hours thinking about character and place, moments and scenes. I might spend tremendous amounts of time charting back individual items through fictional history. I find it relaxing, and it warms my brain up.
I've been pondering how many of those weird little indiscriminate strange moments go into everything we make. When we create, how far out do we look, how do we connect dots.
And then do we have the right moment to step completely outside ourselves and look at HOW we did that. I don't spend enough time on that. But I think I did today when I read that quote.
