> Star Trek: Designing the Final Frontier by Dan Chavkin and Brian McGuire came out this week. It catalogs the use of Mid-Century Modern and Brutalist artifacts (furniture, decorative elements, household items, and architecture) but informed and served as the building blocks of the future as presented in Star Trek the original series.

> There are two lines of narrative inside of a good novel. Short stories, particularly pulp sword and sorcery type stories, often only have one of these lines. The two lines are the external story and the internal story.
> In long form story telling, like a novel, you have to have both or your story is flat. The protagonist is doing things to achieve an external desire. They want the money, they want the girl, they want the boy, they want to get to Nome with the vaccine, they want to get the ring to Mount Doom so they can throw it in.
> Whatever the character is doing is leading the character toward a the final achievement (or failure to achieve) the desired outcome. This is the external story.
> The internal line of the narrative is how the experience of moving toward the external desire changes the person. Often, there is a dissonance between who the character wants to be and who the character is at the beginning of the story. In order to achieve their external goal they may have to change how they think or what they believe, first.
> Bilbo Baggins at the beginning of The Hobbit takes after his Baggins father. He’s the very typical hobbit. The Took side of him is separated from the Baggins side. As he goes through his various adventures, the two parts of his personality are integrated and he becomes a complete person. This is the internal line of the story and we as the audience get to observe it.
