In the presence of inspiration

[Graeme]

I've reached the point where I look at my writing and I know in my bones that I'm just a vehicle for this story that I'm manifesting into the world.

It's too big, to comprehensive, to filled with characters with their own minds and agendas.

I used to pooh, pooh the concept of channeling (and I still do) but I get the experience that underpins that concept.

I'm obsessed, I've lost control - I'm just going with it to whatever end it leads. I can do nothing else.

Can anyone relate?

Very deep immersion and investment, Graeme. Sounds like a literary extrapolation of Stanislavski's system for training actors -:)

Excitement, obsession, channeling can be a good driver and a source of satisfaction, but may spill over the top, so like with liquors - enjoy responsibly -:)

[Graeme]

Agreed.

What happens when inspiration decides to get up and go elsewhere?

[Graeme]

If not present - then back to design...
