Homework #5

Favorite movies:

• Thor (I like all of them, but I’ll pick the first one)

• Onward

• Return of the King (I was torn between this and the Two Towers)

• Lion King

• Moana

• The Curse of the Black Pearl (Pirates of the Caribbean)

Theme:

I don’t really watch many movies, and I know that the music in movies is usually one of my favorite parts, so I’ll throw out the disclaimer that its possible that muddies the water a bit here.

I think there probably is a theme across these movies, but I do not yet have words for them. If anyone has ideas, I’d be happy to hear them :)

Subject I plan to engage my tribe on:

I’ve been wanting to play up the “scientist” part of my brand a bit, so I plan to start writing more blog posts / newsletters on analyzing worldbuilding / magic systems.

Specifically, I plan to write a blog post comparing the different dragons I’ve seen in fantasy and which rationales for how they can fly work…and which do not.

I’m slightly hesitant, though, because I think this sounds fun and in line with my strengths, but I don’t want to swing too far into this side of things, because I don’t write LitRPG, lol. My novels have hard magic systems, but they aren’t the entire point of the story. My stories are still character driven, and I don’t want it to come across like they will be really heavy on the worldbuilding.
