Back in 9th grade, I once had the audacity to ask my Geometry teacher when I'd ever use the material covered in his class, seeing as I was planning to go into the arts. Ten years later, I'm not only using geometry in my artwork, but have found myself researching (or at least getting a cursory knowledge of) an absurd amount of topics so I can have enough realism when I write fiction. To illustrate, here's a list of all the stuff (so far) I've had to study in writing one story in particular:
- various mythologies
- noosphere
- Spanish vocabulary
- Japanese vocabulary
- Shakespeare
- iguanas
- posttraumatic stress disorder
- false memory
- hyperopia
- toothpaste
- foreign traffic signs
- artichokes
- Hangul
- ley lines
- blood
- dryads
- longitude
And let the wild mass guessing on what the heck I'm writing begin... now!
