This week in the Cold, we're talking about the difficulties inherent in taking a fresh, cold eye to your own work. In making your metaphors original, lyrical, and true, and turning the everyday into the fascinating, even magical. In essence, this involves approaching our work like a scientist and asking the very questions of ourselves that would produce counterintuitive answers full of wonder and awe. I'm also soliciting your opinions, my fellow scientists and creators, so allow me to take of your minds, if you will.
