Okay, Don, I’ll
admit that the gravitational pull of the moon may not be the cause of all the
strange/weird/bizarre things we encounter during the full moon. So maybe the problems
are due to the effects of the light it emits? I mean, it does cause some people
to become werewolves…
I read several websites that purport that the
mind has a heightened cycle of activity due to the moon’s illumination. They
define mind as feelings, emotions and desires. (This is what seems to be out of
control during the full moon.) Several other sites report that “moon shine” creates
a super charge of hyper activity. And believe it or not, many farmers plant
according to the moon’s phases. I have several friends that plant their gardens
according the moon phases. And yes, their gardens do really well. Just a thought.
I was glad to
hear that Chris Hadfield isn’t going to become a politician. I think we have
enough of those. I understand the dilemma of figuring out what to do next. As
humans, we often identify ourselves as what we do. I know a lot of teachers who
have had a hard time adjusting to life after the classroom. It is nothing as
fantastic as being an astronaut, but it still is what we do, and when we’re
done, what should we do next? Is there anything else that effects as many
people when they are at the impressionable age?
Your blurb about
Dr. T. Horikawa and his recording people’s dreams using MRI was interesting. It reminded me of Tamara’s story, Pain Free Life which we ran last month. In
another light, I have to admit I don’t remember my dreams. Occasionally I’ll
remember thoughts and maybe pictures, but in what context escapes me. I’m also
not sure I want to remember my dreams – those pushy few that are able to poke through my
veil of unconsciousness wake me up and then I’m awake for the rest of the
night.
On the subject
of the subconscious, one of the questions you proposed to authors was about the
characters and the plots we’re writing about and how it inserts itself into our
daily lives. O’Ryan described her characters “being like a familiar movie playing in the other room.” Tamara said her characters insert themselves into
her life “at unlikely times – the shower, waking up.” Zack eves drops on conversations his characters are having. He said that having characters have an authentic response was comparable to doing a 3-month calculus problem. (He should talk to Tamara, our Dr. of Mathematics!) Out of neglect, my characters have begun to follow me around. My main character has even been brazen enough to change her hair color. She felt blonde went better with brown eyes - more dramatic. (Of course, the truth that my youngest granddaughter "filed" my notes for me last time she was here just isn't as dynamic as a character that talks back). I’m most likely to hear and pay attention to them when I’m
doing things like the dishes (O’Ryan, Tamara and Zack said the same thing) or
watering the plants – doing those things where the outside voices of the world
aren’t as loud.
I say this
because I’m currently working on the next installment of Tracker due to be
published in August. A couple of months ago I wrote about the problems I was
having with voice. This time my problem is just not being able to type fast
enough. As a writer, I guess that's an
okay problem to have.
