People often ask me for writing advice, and they’re surprised when the first thing I tell them is to keep a dream journal.
In fact, many people look downright suspicious, perhaps fearing I’ll go on to advise them to use healing crystals, or only to write when Mercury is in the ascendant.
‘Inspiration’ comes from the Latin inspirare meaning ‘to breathe into’.
People believed that God breathed into them, creating works of genius that they merely had to put on paper.
