The park has seen so much change, though, that it's difficult to even identify what Epcot "is" — let alone what it ought to be.

It occurs to me that many people care about this place, but putting a finger on what we love (and maybe what we don't) isn't always easy. My vision for this book is to finally clarify those questions and get to the heart of what Epcot/EPCOT means to its millions of guests.

What better to tell us about the park than the attractions that comprise it? My idea, then, was to walk through the history of each and every attraction in the park and then use those stories as springboards for a deep dive into the Epcot of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. (less)

Inside, in lovably outdated word art, she'd typed, "Ruth Moose says, 'Keep writing!'"

It's the simplest little thing, and she'd probably be shocked to learn it still sits on my desk, but it's pushed me past writer's block more than once.

On the flip side, as a diehard "30 Rock" fan, I put a lot of stock in Jack Donaghy's "Shower Principle" (the idea that moments of inspiration occur when the brain is distracted from the problem at hand). Long walks work wonders.

In all things, balance.(less)
