What is fantasy?
Wikipedia Explains it this way
Fantasy is a genre of fiction that uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, or setting. Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic is common. Fantasy is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of (pseudo-)scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (which are subgenres of speculative fiction).
What is fantasy to me?
A story is fantasy if it can't be wholly true in every way. I can't think of anything else the definition needs. Clue me in if I'm overlooking something obvious.

Time goes so quickly. For the first time since I started this blog a couple years ago, I let nearly a whole month lapse without a blog entry. I'm not sure if that's a good sign. If it were because I was writing so much I didn't have time to blog too, I'd say that was definitely a good thing. But I fear it was the Olympics more than it was binge writing.
