Infinity

I've been thinking about infinity lately, and specifically how it
applies to creative works. If it is indeed true (and I am no
authority on that sort of physics, or any sort of physics for that
matter) that there are an infinite number of universes in which an
unlimited number of possible worlds exists, than anyone who is
writing a story right now is actually just writing a non-fiction
account of something that has already happened. They don't know it,
but whatever story, however comical or horrible or life-affirming,
in a sense isn't a story at all, it's just something you are
imagining in this world but is actively happening in another.

About Me

You know those people who say they should start a blog or journal and they do? There are really two types of those people. The ones who start to write and realize they have nothing to say, and so stop trying, or the ones who start to write and realize they have nothing to say either, but continue anyways.
