Late to the party, but I felt I had to share that this post directly inspired my brain (definitely my _brain_, as opposed to _me_) to create and start writing a story. The night after reading and thinking about this, I woke up with characters, a world, a plot, conflict and resolution, a whole novel (actually a whole set of them). It's been quite a week for me, especially because my sudden surge in writing fiction led me to try giving my iPhone app away for free and then suddenly finding some unexpected success there, for the first time since that app launched!
