Memorable quote:
“It can be fun and useful to appropriate some of the paradigms surrounding the beliefs and put them to work in your writing.”
Tim confirmed all of my suspicions from yesterday’s podcast. He wasn’t actively advocating for the summoning of spirits, he was helping people create a character. I don’t necessary agree with the way he did it yesterday (because he referenced an author who truly believed she contacted the dead and wrote her novel through use of a ouija board translation), but I can see where he was coming from.
Probably not a good thing to put on here, but I’m going to write it anyway: I have to remember that Tim is operating in the real world, not the tumblr world, and his intentions aren’t malicious. I can see the purpose behind what he did now, whether I agree with it or not. I’m grateful my instincts were right and I was able to modify the exercise correctly and accomplished what he intended.
From what I can tell today, this week isn’t necessarily about ghosts, it’s about character development. Should be an interesting week.
