Notes:

Sara referenced a podcast where she got the recommendation for the book “The Push”, that podcast is called “The Podcast with Know and Jamie”. Here is a link to their green light book recs: https://knoxandjamie.com/green-lights/books/

The Verbivore referenced a quote by author Shannon Hale. Here is that quote:

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”

Fable mentions the Shroedinger’s box thought experiment. Here is a brief description: https://wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2013/07/30/what-did-schrodingers-cat-experiment-prove/

The Verbivore talks about discovering an anime writer and director that makes some visually stunning and wonderfully written films. That writer is Makoto Shinkai and the films are Your Name and Weathering With You.
