In reply to Julie Musil. This is my dad to a T, so it was an easy one to write. Also, I went to college with a guy that we called MacGuyver. The lock on my car door broke, and he said he could fix it. Next thing I knew, my door was laying on the ground, he'd removed the lock and was holding all the little tumbler pieces in his hand. I asked him where he'd learned how to do this, and he said—-I'm not kidding you—-that he saw it on TV. As I had a heart attack. But he put everything back together, and sure enough, it worked great despite him never actually having done it before. This is one area I think it would be nice to be gifted in :).

This is so important for characterization as well as plot. I love it when a skill is set up and integrated into the character, so when s/he uses that skill, it’s totally believable.

Holy heck, my hubby is mechanically minded and you’ve described him perfectly. He’s nick-named “MacGyver” at the fire station. Excellent work.

This is my son. He was barely hatched when he started taking things apart and putting them back together.

This is great. I especially like “able to think non-linearly.” That is such a great skill and could be so useful in so many scenarios. Thanks for another great post.
