Kidd Wadsworth, Featured Author for April

This is a true story.

Two nights ago, I had a dream I could fly. I opened my arms wide, pulled the wind toward me and felt my feet lift off the ground. It was glorious. With my engineering-trained mind I quickly sought practical applications.

Why was the book Dune by Frank Herbert so successful?

Most people would probably say world-building.

I woke at two in the morning from a nightmare in which I was being hunted by an assassin. In the dream, desperate to get away, I hid on the third floor of an abandoned building. I remember looking out the dirty windows and seeing the assassin below in the parking lot looking up at me. He was tracking my cell phone.

These are my goto gems, the sentences that keep me writing, that whisper, “you can do better.”
