The writer must be four people:

1. The nut/obsede supplies the material.
2. The moron lets it out.
3. The stylist provides taste.
4. The critic is the intelligence.

-Susan Sontag

Sometimes research takes me down the path of academic articles which can be difficult to mine for practical use in fiction writing, but occasionally I find a gem which has the potential to enliven and amplify an otherwise weak plot point. You can never research too much. #booksky #writesky

Do you dream of scenes from the book you’re writing in advance of writing them? Do you sometimes dream of a scene that isn’t in the book but once you dream it you realize it belongs in it? I find it fascinating that our unconscious mind solves conscious writing problems. #booksky #writersky

I promised myself I could read one last book and then I’d have to be done with research and finish writing my book. I had no idea how important this book is. I’m thrilled by it. I’m shocked that renowned psychic Ingo Swann could write fiction so well. It gives me hope for my own book. #booksky

My brain is constantly trying to find a way to cover up vulnerabilities and silence my heart. Which makes writing tough because I need to write with heart to write well but my brain does the technical task of writing. Struggling to let my heart out when I write sometimes. #writersky #booksky

I am learning that good writing requires bravery and vulnerability. I have to grow as much as my characters do. #booksky #writersky

Currently reading Psi Wars, short stories about using psychic abilities as weapons. Not as much about consciousness as I hoped, but still a good read if you’re interested in military fiction or parapsychology. #booksky

I just joined Bluesky. Help me find friends!
