Magic, Zen, and Quantum Physics
Q: What do magic, zen, and quantum physics have in common?
A: One awesome blog post.
Urban fantasy writer Marie-Claude Bourque (in a guest appearance at Ann Aguirre's very fun blog) talks a little about the intricacies of world-building and creating a workable magic system, especially the challenge of making the fantastical parts of the story follow rules of logic. Using examples and sharing a few research tidbits, anyone with an interest in reading and/or writing fantasy might want to check out what she has to say. Believe you me, this is some fascinating stuff.
