This waking dream business happens to me quite often. Some other level of consciousness kicks in and it is indeed as though the words are writing themselves. I reckon that as a writer, I can tap into a subconscious process that is far richer then the level at which I write a shopping list . . . It’s a moment of sheer exhilaration and I work though it, telling myself to shut up and listen.
Composition is sheer discipline.
