“Stories are best when they 'emerge' from the depths, and when built in a painting from early sketch through the three-act process to The End, it is a perfect pathway to the unconscious stories set in our dreamwork.” EndsStoriesThreeProcessPerfectPaintingBuiltDepthUnconsciousPathwaysDreamworks Author:Billy Cannon
“My friends are much more dangerous than my enemies. These latter - with infinite subtlety - spin webs to keep me out of places where I hate to go, - and tell stories of me to people whom it would be vanity and vexation to meet; - and they help me so much by their unconscious aid that I almost love them.” PeopleHelpingStoriesWould BeHateEnemyDangerousMy FriendsI HateInfiniteAidsVanityUnconsciousHelp MeLatterSubtletyVexationAlmost Love Book:The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn Including the Japanese Letters Source: The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn Including the Japanese Letters
“a novel is not born of a single idea. The stories I've tried to write from one idea, no matter how terrific an idea, have sputtered out and died by chapter three. For me, novels have invariably come from a complex of ideas that in the beginning seemed to bear no relation to each other, but in the unconscious began mysteriously to merge and grow. Ideas for a novel are like the strong guy lines of a spider web. Without them the silken web cannot be spun.” WritingIdeasMatterStoriesGuyThreeStrongGrowsBornLinesNovelBearsRelationDiedComplexesUnconsciousChaptersSpidersTerrificSpunSpider Web Author:Katherine Paterson
