Writing Inspiration: Imagineer your story

The Walt Disney Company utilizes “imagineers” to create experiences for park-goers. These experiences are built on fantasy and illusion with just the right amount of real-life to be believable. This is not so different from writing a novel, which must offer readers a verisimilitude of reality, also known as the “fictional dream.” Read over a recent passage you wrote. Does it feel “real”? Why or why not? Rewrite the piece so that it avoids those flaws that made it feel “impossible.”

Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Fort Myers, Florida, or a small town like Knock 'em Stiff, Ohio, I can provide that second eye.
