How I connect to my story: I start with an idea, a working title. This idea has an ethical, but dormant counterpart. As I put words, often the title, into my manuscript, the idea becomes active. This creates a sparkle of consciousness in the imaginative realm. This is how all creations start. - This is intuitive, nonmental writing. My mind doesn't create the story and is often surprised what is put into the manuscript. - The sparkle becomes a light as it draws more ideas in. Characters emerge with their own personalities and the first contact are very special. Again, it is not a mind thing, but a 'heart' thing. I connect and feel the character. Sometimes I know (like in knowingness which isn't a mind thing), the character is there, but it takes some time or the right conditions in the plot, before it opens and joins the plot. It is quite fascinating. - I use present tense and mostly dialogues. My primary person (antagonist) is the first-person dialogue, and I do not switch into other characters' minds and feelings, they must show themselves through actions. This way, it presents my descriptions in the present tense in 'dialogue' with the reader. The reader and the 'writer' experience the story together. The 'writer' does not know more than the reader at any point in the story.
