Authors need protection

Not once I realized how vulnerable creative minds can be. At night, when the majority of people are sleeping, authors are writing in the dark. If no one offers them a glass of water, they never ask. The same with food. In a short period of time they can become accustomed to such "food free nights."

Some authors prepare in advance. They are surrounded by tiny dishes filled with candy, peanuts, honey, water ...

Often, in middle of the night, they need to take a walk. That's when protection becomes important, everywhere. Authors are continuing with the stories in their minds and they do not see the surroundings or where they walk. They become like robots.

It takes a special person, someone who loves them, who is able to put them in place and help them focus on reality when away from the writer's chair.
