Some great insights into how children’s book authors, like Rowling, create their literary worlds – and why it’s the execution, not the ideas, that matters.
One of my favourite bits, appreciable by creators of every ilk:

Wait, what is this?
This is the romping grounds of Daniel Bigler. Here's more about him. He thinks you're really swell for visiting.
Daniel’s been hardwired to the Internet since he was twelve and spends a lot of time finding nifty things on it to share – which he does so here.
He also uses this place to write serious thoughts about things like children and their “big picture” place in society and the world.
