I’m reading this book right now. Thinking Write by Kelly L. Stone. Now, I may be someone who can rattle off my own disease and explain it so well that even doctor’s are impressed with my knowledge, but I am also the student who earned a grand 0.9 GPA in Anatomy and Physiology despite all my studying. I am a scientific moron. Just make it easy for me to regurgitate and I will score superb on fill in the bubble tests. LOL

So, when I say Kelly keeps it real for the layperson, I am not exaggerating. She starts by explaining Freud’s 3 parts of the mind, Conscious, Pre-Conscious and the Subconscious. She explains relaxing techniques and memory recall techniques. Then she explains brain waves in the different stages of sleep and how they relate to creativity.

I now totally understand why I cannot write new words and play sudoku in the same day. Even though I am published and the Evil level at www.websudoku.com rocks.

The sad thing? After whipping myself into a morning routine of take meds, get dressed, eat, exercise and then begin my day, Kelly advises getting out of bed and staying in that half-sleep “hypnagogic” state, complete with pajamas is a great thing for writing.

So now, to all the people who demanded I get up, get dressed, wear shoes and have a routine, I say, “Ha!”
