I had to laugh reading this. I might have believed it too if not for the disclaimer.

I said nobody’s going to think it’s for real, it’s too out there. They laughed but said, please, for our sake, put a disclaimer on it.

This is great. Personally I burn all my belongings in a cleansing ritual, sit naked for 4 hours until the great cosmic voice enters me....yes. then I get dressed, drop some acid, say get out of me you cosmic entity, and start writing. I don't recommend it 😂

🤣We should all share our make-believe writing rituals.

The monkey brain does take over. Sometimes I’ll be in a place or I’ll see a particular person, and bam I have 500 words for a scene. It’s unbelievable

It is amazing when that happens- almost like what’s been simmering below a conscious level suddenly emerges due to some external trigger.

Hopefully however, getting it written doesn’t actually require leaping around the house like a hyperactive monkey. 😁
