@bravo1102, you also just nailed it. I've been asking that famous question, especially when I had worked on the soon-to-be-released Set 3. The whole concept of not just working on one world or one universe, but working on multiple at the same time has always been enjoyable for me. That also applies to what you said about alternate history. That could mean history that takes place in another universe or history that was previously untold that involves characters that you create, which is actually what I'm starting to get into now. Definitely relatable!

@PaulEberhardt: nailed it. Most of my world building is all based on "what if?" There are so many possibilities and then there's alternative history, but it doesn't have to our world, it can be one like it but just not it.

Sounds a bit like the writing prompts I make up for my students (especially when they need to get familiar with these dreaded conditional clauses). That's how I know this approach is a pretty safe bet when it comes to jump-starting your or anyone else's mind. It's fun, too.

People don't realize that Peter Pan growing up was always implied in the usually forgotten epilog of the original play. Pan keeps coming back amd we see Wendy as a mother of another little girl. He offers to give her a kiss, and Wendy tells him not a thimble this time, so he gives the girl a real kiss. Exactly the sequence shown in Hook. Growing up I had records of the original play, the Disney soundtrack and the classic Mary Martin TV special. Loved Peter Pan.
