The Walt Disney Company utilizes “imagineers” to create experiences for park-goers. These experiences are built on fantasy and illusion with just the right amount of real-life to be believable. This is not so different from writing a novel, which must offer readers a verisimilitude of reality, also known as the “fictional dream.” Read over a recent passage you wrote. Does it feel “real”? Why or why not? Rewrite the piece so that it avoids those flaws that made it feel “impossible.”
