“We all have an obligation to daydream. We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that we are in a world in which society is huge and the individual is less than nothing. But the truth is, individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different.”
Neil Gaiman, lecture at the Reading Agency London, 2013
I believe that creative writing & rigorous imagining can help us shape the future, think differently about the past and shape our own perception of reality. Diving into a fantasy world or a sci-fi story is so much more than escapism. It is also a pursuit of answers, role models and healing.
Hi, I’m Mila Oaks and I write stories. Stories about the future, the universe, about fantasy realms, heroes and villains. Reality always hides behind my texts but you can only find it if you pay enough attention.
But then again who would look for reality if you can escape into an entirely different world?
