Why You Should Care About Daydreaming

Inquiring Minds Want to Know About DayDreaming
In elementary school Mrs. Crawford yelled at me, “HB – stop daydreaming
and pay attention to your test questions.” She woke me up.
In college Dr. Abbot screamed out, “Mr. Wechsler – stop mind-wandering, and join
the economics class.”
Later in Law School Professor Reich hollered out, “Herr Wechsler, arouse yourself from the Twilight-Zone or leave my torts class.”
It took decades for science to prove that we do our most original (creative) thinking
during business hours – when we have zoned-out and are daydreaming.
Science
Fact: Homo sapiens spend up to 66% of their waking hours in Beta consciousness,
awake and active with our brain ripping at 13-40 cycles per second. Beta produces an internal sense of alertness, and receives input from all five gross senses, long-term and working memory, uses logic, linear and organized thinking.
It’s our conscious ego at work, with a little help from its friend – nonconsciousness.
Fact: humans spend up to 33% of their waking hours DayDreaming in the Twilight zone. Important: our brain cycles between 8-12 cycles per second in Alpha and 4-8 cps in Theta. Wait. Alpha and Theta are good at inspiration, visualization, and intuition.
They shut out Beta consciousness to receive nonverbal information from
our right nonconscious hemisphere.
Theta
These Theta brainwaves control our deep inward thoughts (metaphors and complex ideas). What else? Our ability for high mental concentration, visualizations and intuition is Theta based. It’s where we get our creativity and imagination.
Who says? Professor K. Christoff, University of British Columbia
What’s the difference between Mind-Wandering, Daydreaming, Hypnagogia and
the Twilight-Zone? Answer: nothing, they are the same. They are part of the human
condition and its standard mental processes.
Professor Kalina Christoff stands for Mind-Wandering, with or without conscious
awareness. Her original research was the first on spontaneous thought processes. She used fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imagery) to reveal the default network and executive brain system causing mind-wandering. So what?
It is published by the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences (5.13.2009) to show that one-third of our waking hours – we are zoned-out in Alpha or Theta.
We are not paying attention, but our Nonconsciousness (right-hemisphere of the brain) is making new connections with creativity and imagination with stuff we learned during Beta alertness. It’s not sleeping, just integrating and synchronizing
new ideas to solve old challenges. Well, maybe a snooze or two in between.
Edison used his nonconsciousness (daydreaming/mind-wandering) to invent the
electric light, movies and the phonograph. He took a 20-minute daily snooze
specifically to daydream for inventions.
So What
You can intentionally daydream solutions to your toughest challenges. Allocate 20-minutes without interruption.
1. Sit with your eyes closed.
2. Place your outstretched fingers of both hands parallel to your bellybutton (both sides of your navel).
3. Take 5 deep, slow diaphragmatic breaths to oxygenate your brain.
4. Repeat aloud (whisper) the problem you wish to solve.
5. Picture mentally your optimal outcome. Examples: giving a great presentation, interviewing well, or testing in the top ten-percentile.
6. To go deeply, mumble the words to Bingo! “There was a farmer
who own a dog and Bingo was his name.”
(Bingo! distracts your left-conscious brain and permits your right-
nonconscious brain to signal nonverbally with original insights.)
Set an alarm clock for 20-minutes to end the daydream. Immediately write
or type whatever you just visualized no matter how trivial appearing. What you
visualized after analysis is 90% relevant to solving your problems.
Endwords
Professor Christoff discovered a second neural network was mentally triggered
to discover answers to complex problems. It is part of our Executive brain function
and unites left and right brains. It uses Semantic memory (knowledge) and nonconscious (intuition) memory to solve your problems.
This National Academy of Sciences article has been cited frequently.
Meaning
Our brain retains information by recalling its meaning – not its sound or visualization. When we learn a new skill (called a procedural memory), it is different than learning new information (called Semantic Memory).
Skills like typing or surfing the Internet are right-brain functions. They are non-verbal and nonconscious. When you learned to type and became excellent at it, you recall finger positions by triggered both Pattern Recognition and Spatial learning.
To learn new skills rapidly, do not seek meaning, (why it works) that is second stage
thinking. People who fail to learn procedural skills like typing, driving or riding a
bike are perfectionists and left-brain dominant.
Failure is caused by a conflict between left and right brain functions. Simultaneously learning to perfect the skill and understanding why it works causes cognitive dissonance known as brain-stress.
First learn to do it, later research the science of learning about your specific strategy schemas. Combining the two causes slow learning.
Speed Reading
Students are concerned with understanding how they can read three-times faster without loss of comprehension and use their left conscious brain to intrude on
mastering the skill itself. The skill is a right-brain nonconscious product.
The secret is letting go of analysis. In fact the reason they fail is called Analysis-Paralysis. In typing or speed reading, expertise requires practice and experience,
not intellectualizing. Consider golf, tennis or pitching or kicking a ball.
Do not over-think the skill, just seek your Pattern Recognition. Micromanaging causes choking, tension and stress.
Q. Would you have a valuable competitive advantage by reading and remembering
three (3) books, articles and reports in the time your peers can hardly finish one?

Teenage Craze 2010

]]>
Teenagers just can’t get enough of them. They’re all over billboards. They’re on every magazine page. They are seen on TV. – They are everywhere! We’re talking about the teenage craze that has hit every part of the globe today. Here they are:
Justin Beiber. Probably the most popular teenager of his time, Justin Bieber was born in 1994. This wonder boy was first discovered on Youtube. Because of his impeccable talent and charm, he became a hit maker in months. He has captured the hearts of girls, young and old alike, from all across the world. Bieber is the first ever artist to have seven songs from a debut album enter the Billboard Hot 100. When his single “Baby” was released in January 2010, he became a certified teen idol of his generation.
Facebook. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, Facebook has reached over 500 million users from all over the globe. People use this site not just to connect with friends and family but also to chat with online friends, to meet new people, to sell stuff, etc. But for most teenagers, Facebook is a gaming ground. What makes this site very interesting is the wide range of interactive games that thrill people to keep coming back. Beachtown, one of the newest gaming applications on Facebook, gives players the chance to recreate a virtual world of the beach. It’s the perfect pastime and stress buster especially for beach bums who want to feel the aloha spirit all the time.
Twilight. Aside from Harry Potter, Highschool Musical, and Camp Rock, Twilight has also captured the hearts of the teens. They patronize books, soundtracks, movies, including Twilight merchandises that are out in the market today.
Apple. iPod, iPad, Mac – one of these is sure to make it into every teenager’s Christmas list. Macs may be an excuse because they are major necessities in school. iPods and iPads are luxuries but more and more teenagers are tucking one inside their backpacks
The Jonas Brothers. They are cute and they sing good music. Who would not love them? Their concerts are jam-packed and they get the loudest cheers from the crowd. Just like Justin Beiber, the Jonas Brothers are certified teen icons of their generation.
Some of us may not fully understand the charm that these teen hits have on teenagers today but for the younger people, they are their world and they make their lives even more colorful.

Vampire Movies are Hot at the Box Office

The popularity of the Twilight movie series lately has sparked a renewed interest in all things vampire. Even if you are not a fan of the book or movie series, you can’t miss them all over television and in the news. It began as a figment of imagination many years ago, and has now become a movie genre with fans all over the world.
Vampire legends have been around for years all around the world. Vampires are said to be witches, ghosts, or evil spirits who live by drinking human blood. It is believed that the origin of this myth came from the innate fear of the unknown that we all have in the corners of our minds. Most cultures have vampire legends of some sort and Hollywood has banked on the interest of the scary subject.
Dracula is probably the best known and most represented vampire of all time. In 1931, Bela Lugosi’s portrayal of Dracula set the stage for vampire movies for years to come. Over the years, many variations of the Dracula story have been written in books and filmed time after time for television and movies.
Although Dracula is more recognized, the film Nosferatu, produced in 1922, is more likely the origin of all vampire related movies. A silent movie starring Max Schreck, it was an unlicensed German version of Braum Stoker’s novel, a book that has been published in more than one hundred fifty versions over the years. This film usually makes the top-ten list of most experts in the vampire movie industry.
Although there is some variety among vampire movies these days, some of the basic elements are the same. Of course, the vampire is usually the dreaded main character. All vampires need a good vampire hunter to create a story as well. According to the legends, it is commonly seen that vampires can only be killed by a wooden stake through their hearts, can’t go out in the sunlight, have no reflection and are afraid of holy water and crucifixes.
Vampire movies today have a much wider audience than those of the past. Movies such as The Lost Boys, Braum Stoker’s Dracula, Blade and Van Helsing have wooed audiences who may not have been interested in the vampire legend before. Combine a few good looking actors, and a tragic love story and you’ve got a good fit for many movie goers worldwide.
While the basic premise of the vampire in these movies is the same, filmmakers worldwide are striving to give the public a unique twist on the classic tale. In fact, it has been said that Dracula with more than 150 films made about him, has been the subject of more movies than any other fictional character. Upcoming films such as sequels in the Twilight series, and others like Midnight Son, will continue to expand the vampire film genre. With so many vampire movies out there, audiences are likely to find just the right one for them.

Watching movies is a good stress reliever. This is one way of escaping from stressful reality to laugh, cry and emote with virtual friends on the boob tube. But of course, watching movie experience could never be good unless you are watching the right movie to suit your mood. I recommend watching new movies. Although there are a lot of good old movies, I suggest you must watch new movies so you will know the trend in the movie industry nowadays.

A Chronological Study of Indian English Fiction with Social Perspective
ABNISH SINGH
(Department of English, COE, Teerthanker Mahaveer University,
Moradabad, U.P., India)
Email: abnishsinghchauhan@gmail.com
Fiction, an expression of the most intimate consciousness of life and society, form an impressive core of literature. Since as a creative process, fiction is an expression of the most powerful and intimate consciousness of life and society- the society in which it grows and develops, it has some purposes to fulfill them, some thoughts to be contemplated and some plans to be acted upon for the welfare of humanity. When it broods upon such different things, it witnesses changes taking place in life and society, and, therefore, these changes are reflected in the fictional world. Indian English fiction is also doing the same thing. Indian English fiction expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions in a rationale and interesting manner, and directly or indirectly throws light upon different changes in its own way. Hence, the reflection of change in different fields of Indian society manifests the significance and utility of the Indian creative writing in English. P.P.Mehta and P.N. Bhatt also think the same: “A work of art changes in course of time. Its structure is dynamic. This process has never been interrupted and the task of the historian is to describe this process.”1
The Indian English fiction from its very beginning has witnessed socio-cultural, economic and political changes in the destiny of our nation. It was the time when the destiny of India was under the eclipse of the British rule. Many Indians were trying to come out from that dark shadow. For it, they made their first great protest known as Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. But it was crushed down by the British Government to barricade the Indians from the future revolts, the British Queen made the Proclamation (1858) to strengthen her policy. The Indians were divided once again on the ground of religion, caste, color, race and society, and they were denied even fundamental rights and liberties.
But it was not the end of the British oppression. These were the starting steps to the journey of troubles. The Indians were tortured with shocks of the partition of Bengal, the Hindu-Muslim divide and the ruthless suppression of patriotic feelings by the colonial rule. So to condemn the cruel and discriminatory attitude of the British Government and in order to actively register their protest and discontent voicing for political reforms, many Indians formed various political organizations like the Indian National Congress, the Muslim League, the Forward Block, the Home Rule Leagues, etc. and, in this way, played pivotal role in the struggle for the attainment of Independence. The colonial Government sensed the trouble and promised responsible government after the tensions of the First World War subsided. But this promise, after facing many problems and pressures, could be fulfilled only after the Second World War.
During the freedom struggle, many results came in. Amongst the most important outcomes were the emergence of socio-cultural consciousness and the growth of the spirit of nationalism in India, so strong that it led inevitably to the freedom of the country. Moreover, from that onwards the English educated Indians drank deeply at the wellsprings of the British liberal thoughts flourishing in England, and they were encouraged by the growth of an active and independence press both in English and vernacular.
In the meantime, a number of European and Indian scholars began to study the ancient India’s philosophy, science, religion, culture and literature. This growing knowledge of India’s past gave to the Indian people a sense of pride in their culture and civilization. It also helped the reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Maharishi Devendranath Tagore, Keshab Chandra Sen, Dr Atmaran Pandurang, R.G. Bhandarkar, Mahadeva Govinda Ranade, Henry Vivian Derozio, Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekananda, Mrs Annie Besant, Shiv Dayal Khatri, Guru Shaligram Sahib, Satyananda Agnihotri, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghose, Maulvi Chirag Ali, Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Mirza Ghulam Ahamd, Rajnarain Bose, Naba Gopal Cahtterjee, etc. in their works of religious and social reforms. For their struggle against social evils, economic backwardness of millions of Indians, feudalism, social disparities, the exploitation of women, loss of faith and values, illiteracy, suffering, slavery, superstitions and inhuman practices and customs, the reformers used the authority of the ancient Indian texts. In doings so, most of them based themselves on reason rather than mere belief and faith. They made use of their knowledge of Western ideas as well as of the ancient learning. Such movements of reforms were part and parcel of the socio-cultural consciousness of the Indians that led them to win their freedom. Moreover, the socio-cultural consciousness and the growth of the feelings of nationalism and achievement of national Independence gave a great impetus to the growth and development of Indian English fiction.
“In truth, the story of the novel has no end and no beginning.”2 The generally accepted view is that the beginning of Indian English fiction is marked by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s Rajmohun’s Wife (1864). The novel was serialized in The Indian Field in 1864. It reveals the long-sufferings of a typical Hindu wife, Mantangni and the degradation of moral and social values of Mathur Ghose, Rajmohun and Bikha. His other novels, which were translated from Bengali into English, are – Kapalkundla (1885) and Durgesh Nandni (1890). In these two novels, he imbibes patriotic feelings of Bengal and exposes the shams and hypocrisies of contemporary life and society, teaching the lessons of social and cultural values. The Bengali writers mainly dominated the period from 1864 to 1900. Widely known novelists of this period are – Raj Lakshmi Debi, Toru Dutt, Lal Behari Dey, K. Charkavarti, Kamala Satthianandhan, Behramji Malabari, N.V. Pai, R.K. Pant, T.C. Mookerjee, A.P. Dutta and others. Raj Lakshmi Debi’s The Hindu Wife (1876), a novel important from the cultural viewpoint, sets examples of cultural change. While Toru Dutta’s maiden romance Bianca or The Young Spanish Maiden, published posthumously in 1879, is an autobiographical novel that presents hedonic and artistic values. Lal Behari Dey’s Bengal Peasant Life or History of a Bengal Raiyat (1880), the best Indian English novel written in latter half of the nineteenth century, is a realistic novel which exposes various manifestations of exploitation by and tyranny of landlord, sahukar, priest, corrupt officials and foreign planters. Another novelist B. Malabari’s Gujrat and the Gujratis (1882) contains local colour and vivid realistic picture of Gujrati life and society. While Nagesh Vishwanath Pai’s Stray Sketches in Chakmakpore from the Note-Book of an Idle Citizen (1894) is remarkable for its thirty sketches of Bombay life. Kamala Satthianandhan is known for her renowned autobiographical novel, Saguna : A Story of Native Christian Life (1895), the first autobiographical novel in Indian English fiction . It depicts her own life till her marriage, presenting social, moral and religious values. Sarla and Hingana(1898) by K Chakravarti is a realistic story of Bengal village life. There are also some other novels like R.K. Pant’s The Boy of Bengal (1866), The Scorpions or Eastern Thoughts (1868) by Tara Chand Mookerjee, The Indolence (1878) by Anand Prasad Dutta, Bijoy Chand: An Indian Tale (1888) by M. Dutta, etc. which deserve mention. In this experimental stage fiction- writing was newly developed industry in India. Therefore, the Western influence on it was visible clearly. Though most of the novelists of this period were influenced by their foreign masters and though their works are immature, they tried their best to treat contemporary issues, to present alternative patterns of values and to improve the condition of man and manners. Harish Raizada also feels the same :
As the appeal for improving the condition of Indian people and the relationship between India and England was to be made to the English rulers, many of the Indian writers chose to write in English, and as novel was a literary genre most suited to the proper representation of life and its problems, they took to fiction for expressing their views.3
While the first two decades of the twentieth century are noteworthy as they made their contribution to the growth and development of Indian English fiction in its seminal stage. It was the era of socio-cultural and national consciousness in which Indian English novelists also gave their limited contribution through their writings. Ramesh Chandra Dutta, a renowned Bengali novelist, translated two of his six novels-Sansar and Madhvi Kankan into English under the titles The Lake of Palms (1902) and The Slave Girl of Agra (1909) respectively. These novels aimed at the elimination of social evils and superstitions, desiring social reforms. Another novelist, Sir Joginder Singh’s two historical novels- Nur Jahan (1909) and Nasrin (1915) and two romances- Kamla (1925) and Kamini (1931) expose wretched conditions of women and moral and spiritual degradation of Sultans, Nawabs, Zamindars, Rajahs, Taluquadars, priests, etc. Besides, other novels such as Love of Kusuma (1910) by Bal Krishna, 1001 Indian Nights (1905) and The Prince of Destiny (1909) by S.K. Ghose, Hindupore or A Peep Behind the Indian Unrest (1909) by S.M. Mitra, Padmini (1903) and The Dive for Death (1912) by T. Ramakrishna Pillai, Clarinda (1915) by A Madhaviah, Love and Life Behind the Purdah (1901) and Between the Twilights (1908) by Cornilia Sorabji, Bengal Decoits and Tigers (1916) by Maharani Sunity Devee, The Home and the World (1919) by R.N. Tagore, The Wheel of Destiny (1920) by C. Parthsarthy, etc show an awareness of the local colour, regional life and some true values through their thoughts and actions. Socio-cultural and political changes, social evils like casteism, purdah pratha, bal-vivah, poverty, exploitation, disparity, cultural-conflict, historical happenings, realism and romantic tales are common place in the novels of this period of national awakening. K. Venkata Reddy rightly says :
Parallel to this struggle for political freedom was a social struggle-a fight against superstition, casteism, poverty, illiteracy and many other social evils that were eating into the vitals of Indians society. The socio-political movement that had caught the imagination of the entire nation also inspired the Indian novelists in English who rightly realized that novel too had a vital role to play in it.4
Small wonder, therefore, if the Indian English novelists, right from the end of the second decade of the twentieth century, started focusing their attention largely on contemporary problems. Motivated by socio-cultural and political awareness and changed historical situation, they began to conceive of the state of values around them while presenting life and society realistically in their fictional world. Naturally in the pre-Independence era, novels like Rabindra Nath Tagore’s The Wreck (1921) and Gora (1923), M.M. Banarji’s Nanda, the Pariah Who Overcome Caste (1923), D.G. Mukharjee’s Hari, the Jungle Lad (1924) and My Brother’s Face (1925), K.S. Venktramani’s Murugan, The Tiller (1927) and Kandan: The Patriot (1932), Mulkraj Anand’s Untouchable (1935) and Coolie (1936), R.K. Narayan’s Swami and Friends (1935), The Bechelor of Arts (1937), Krishnaswami Nagrajan’s Athawar House (1937), Raja Rao’s Kanthapura (1938), Ahmad Ali’s Twilight in Delhi (1940), Humanyun Kabir’s Men and Rivers (1945), Khawaja Ahmad Abbas’s Tomorrow Is Ours (1943) and Defeat For Death (1944), D.F. Karaka’s Just Flesh (1940) and There Lay The City (1942) and other works gave firm footing to the Indian fiction in English and still have sparkles of alternative patterns of values, focusing on social concerns, stark realism, humanism, regional color, orthodox, liberal, progressive and Gandhian thoughts and rapidly changing historical and political situations. In this regard, Satish Kumar in his work A Survey of Indian English Novel says:
During this era the toddling Indian English novel, In spite of many hindrances and handicaps, has learnt to stand firmly on its legs. A conscious and artistic pattern has evolved itself. The novel has become a great literary force, a powerful medium for creating social and national awareness and for suggesting ways of changing society.5
The Indian fiction in English attains maturity, full flowering and wide acclaim in the post-Independence era. With the attainment of Independence, the novels experience a change in their themes and therfor, it “at once gains a new capacity to absorb many of the critical issues that have plagued it so far.”6 So, the focus is shifted from the public to the private sphere. The inner dilemma- anxiety, alienation, frustration, detachment, involvement, self-condemnation, self approval, restlessness, sense of guilt, loneliness, nausea, etc. became the pinpoints for the themes of the novels of this age. With them the themes of current happenings, cross-cultural conflict, realism and fantasy, rural events, the traumatic experiences in the form of partition of India and Pakistan, Indo-China, and Indo-Pak wars, communal carnages, loss of faith and values, curse of industrialization and materialism, growing hostility among men, the growth of Indian ethos and sensibility, etc. are seen in the novels of the post-Independence fictionists like G.V. Desani, Bhabani Bhattacharya, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K. Narayan, Nirad C. Chaudhari, Khushwant Singh, Manohar Malgonkar, S.N. Ghose, B. Rajan, Kamala Markandeya and others. By the end of the Sixties and in the early Seventies the same themes were seen in the novels of Arun Joshi, Chaman Nahal, Jatin Mohan Ganguli, P.M. Nityananda, B.K. Karanjia, Timeri Murari, R.P. Jhabvalla, Attia Hussain, Anita Desai, Nayantara Sehgal, Nargis Dalal, Vimala Raina, Veena Paintal, Bharti Mukherjee, Anita Kumar. Thinking about the responsibility, function and contribution of the novelists of the post-Independence ere, Satish Kumar writes:
The novelist minutely analyses the significant and far-reaching changes in individual passing through period of over all transition. His observant and penetrating eye watches the evolution of new values and new morality…. The creative artist alone is interested in these basic changes. Hence in these novels the basic changes in the individuality of man and the evolution of new values and new morality is integral to the theme, action and characterization. All the novelists…have sincerely and realistically recorded the revolutionary changes in human outlook and, thus, they have envisioned a new social order.7
In the Eighties, yet another breed of Indian fictionists in English emerged. It included Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth, Upmanyu Chatterjee, Allan Seally, Shashi Deshpande, Namita Ghkhle, Shashi Tharoor, Farukh Dhondi, Amitav Ghosh, Bapsi Sidhwa, Brinda Mukherjee, Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, Sudhir Kakkar, Dina Mehta, Dolly Ramanujan, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Shauna Singh. Apart from these, some lesser writers have also emerged on the contemporary scene such as Shiv K. Kumar, Saros Cowasjee, Vasant A. Shahane, K.V. Subbaram, Ranga Roa, Raj Gill, Balaraj Khanna, etc. The most significant and praiseworthy outcome of this emergence is that the Indian English novelists are now writing with new visions, new themes, new technical and linguistic devices, new ease and a new confidence, making experiment in their works and winning international recognition and acclaim, which insures a bright future for the Indian fiction in English. In this regard the following statement of Satish Kumar is remarkable:
Indeed, the veteran masters of Indian English novel have the Indian novel in English seated fairly and firmly on a high pedestal in the literature of the world….Indian English novel no doubt will grow from strength to strength and ‘help to make us a new nation and a new people wedded to the tasks of national reconstruction and international harmony’. It’s future is immense.8
Today, when the Indian English fiction has finally created its own standing at the international level, it would be indeed interesting and significant to know about the changes taken place in Indian society. Moreover, the most significant outcome of these changes is that Indian English writers are now writing with a new zeal and confidence and blending social aspects and phenomenal situation in their fictional world.

A Chronological Study of Indian English Fiction with Social Perspective
Indian fiction written in English has been impressive. It has witnessed a rapid change, from being deeply affected by the Raj to being Vernacular. It is, therefore, very important to know and realize such changes taken place in every field of Indian life and society; and for that a brief history of Indian English Fiction might be one of the best media of its expression.

When do authors of books, short stories and poems get their best ideas?Is there a technique that turns on this tap of creativity?
These are often asked questions and the answer is not an easy one. In the absence of any rules and regulations, I can only speak about my own situation and hope that the following may be applicable to anybody who is creative.
Ideas and sentiments cannot be turned on and off at will, but we are able to condition ourselves to recognise this creative moment when it presents itself. To be ready for this, it is always advisable to have a notice book handy, a clip board or a voice recording device to give permanency to these fleeting thoughts.
Sometimes, it is a vivid dream I wake up with and, recognising it as a good story, I note it down, still in a drowsy state of twilight. This is important because once wakefulness sets in, it is obliterated from consciousness. Sometimes I am able to return to my twilight state and retrieve some more details, noting them down carefully, for proper grammar and wording to be worked on later!
This way, I am able to achieve wonderful poetry, stories with a twist I would have never thought of during the day, or even an interesting idea for another book may present itself. It is wonderful to harness this world of sub-consciousness as it is Inexhaustible and everlasting.
Another source of lyrical expression is derived from a state of depression. Deeply depressed people are able to compose poetry or other literary works
with remarkable depth and feeling which they are normally not capable of. The danger here is that whilst writing down their feelings, they may be emotionally in a downwards spiral, a very dangerous situation!
During the day, really creative people are able to sit relaxed and shut themselves off from their surroundings and sink in a kind of trance. With pen and paper ready, thoughts are recorded in no particular order and will be worked later into a piece of literature.
These principles, of course, would also apply to cartoonists, comedians, speechwriters, in other words, anybody who needs originality and creativity.
In addition to this, there are other helpful tools to assist a writer. For example, learning new words is a daily must as it increases expression and descriptiveness.
Reading other peoples works is important for mind expansion and increased comprehension. They may be masterpieces or from unknown authors, we will constantly learn and absorb in an ongoing process.
Of great assistance is to have one’s outpouring edited by another, qualified, person to ensure universal acceptance of one’s train of thoughts.
There are of course many more sources of inspirations and I shall mention them in later publications. My book ‘Life on the Road’, for example, is a hilarious recording of real life situations, some are too crazy to be invented,and I have written them down with an alert ear and eager pen!

About the Author:
ABOUT MYSELF
For most of my working life I have been in Sales, either retail, wholesale or manufacturer’s representative. Because of this I have met a lot of people from different cultures and organisations and observed their psychological make-up, and how people interact with one another. This has given me a chance to observe and discover some positive and not so positive fundamentals in contact with one another.
During this time an opportunity presented itself for me to start writing, and since then, I have written a lot because of the pleasure I get from writing. I like the challenge of finding the right words to craft the perfect sentences which, in turn, convey a perfect story. .Whilst I have not achieved this stage of perfection, just to think and be able to write down my thoughts, is for me something very stimulating and satisfying.

For most of my working life I have been in Sales, either retail, wholesale or manufacturer’s representative. Because of this I have met a lot of people from different cultures and organisations and observed their psychological make-up, and how people interact with one another. This has given me a chance to observe and discover some positive and not so positive fundamentals in contact with one another.
During this time an opportunity presented itself for me to start writing, and since then, I have written a lot because of the pleasure I get from writing. I like the challenge of finding the right words to craft the perfect sentences which, in turn, convey a perfect story. .Whilst I have not achieved this stage of perfection, just to think and be able to write down my thoughts, is for me something very stimulating and satisfying.
