I totally agree. Thank you! I appreciate it!

Imagineers are cuckoo, no doubt, at least when in the depths of their imagination.

In Liar’s Legacy, I’m sure you have a better understanding of folks like your character, Sevdis. There is no way you can write his persona without gaining understanding about people who puff themselves up. And in doing so, you find yourself coping better with real life people who have a bit of his character, and you have more understanding.

Writing and imagining are avenues to understanding other people. Not just seeing their actions, but delving deeper into the “whys” of such, and seeing how some personalities conflict with others. It’s philosophy and psychology and spirituality.

As a reader, Sevdis is only a character in a book, as an author, Sevdis is so much more.

Watching TV, etc., certainly you are watching other people live life, but when you are the creator, your mind may be in another world, but you are in a reality where you are learning about life.

With that said, having a writing time really is one of the best ways to rein in the imagination and still live in reality. And though our imaginations still work overtime in reality—as all it takes is for someone to say something that inspires a scene in our mind’s theatre—all I can say is, “‘Tis how I was made, so it is what it is.” That’s the reality of it.

Watch the distractions from other artists. Use them as leisure and to learn, but don’t let their work end your work.
