Looking at Speculative Fiction from Another Dimension.

J.R.R. Tolkien with MVP’s Inspirational Storyteller Quote of the Week.

“What really happens is that the story-maker proves a successful ‘sub-creator’. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed. You are then out in the Primary World again, looking at the little abortive Secondary World from outside.”

~~J.R.R.Tolkien
