Are You Living in the Real World?

If the writer or playwright or film maker doesn't really care about what they are doing, doesn't seek truth in their characters and their journeys and in themselves, doesn't address themes, and feelings and thoughts that are vitally important to us all in the everyday. Because that's what the heart and the mind, the soul if you like, desperately needs to feed and breathe and grow on. [...]in a child's awakening mind, everyone is a potential Santa Claus, or wicked uncle, daemons literally exist and there are goblets of fire. [...]children's fantasies today, certainly in the realms of teen fiction, are rightly willing to confront, with a chance at those safe explorations, issues that might have been banned or caused apoplexy 50 years ago. [...]I'm not sure who that's ruder about, me or Star Trek, but I'd like to put it on record that I like Star Trek, damn it. Besides the trouble with critics is that they have to be treated like tribbles, but what they say doesn't really matter.
