since i'm in the early stages of writing/worldbuilding my setting, I'm thinking: what is the goal of me doing this? Why do I want to make my own story? Beyond just growing up with and loving science fiction. And i think my reason is this: I want to create a world inspired by the works I look up to, but one with a place for people like me. I want to make my own because people who share my identity are largely missing from the works I grew up adoring.

the urge to work on personal creative projects grows strongest when there is homework due
