    ==> the slipstream
    Speculative fiction is comprised of three related genres: science fiction, fantasy and horror. The slipstream intermingles these genres then plants imagination’s resulting seeds into the potting soil of mainstream fiction. In the realm of the unknown, all possibilities and even mutations flower and co-exist abundantly. Slipstream is a state of mind. It disrupts and distorts reality, surprising readers into seeing the otherness in all things. It breaks through the safe borders that rationality seeks to enforce.

    I have not read opinions in Wikipedia articles, but there have been many times I didn’t believe everything I read there. I do believe there should be an attached area there to comment on each article that others could see as they read, and be able to comment with their own knowledge of the subject. The final entry’s validity would be greatly increased.

    Story Angle: ​​ ATTITUDE

    STORY ANGLES can be formed by attitude, the way a character feels about something – a place, a situation or another character. Resulting behavior influences decisions, leads the character in directions not otherwise taken. Story tension is heightened as the character reacts in unexpected ways to new or existing obstacles. Reaction drives plot, causing a rising action that brings about an inevitable climax. Attitude points that special character to a surprising and unique resolution.

    I would grab my fireproof important papers box, and my favorite guitar.
