When you are a writer (or any form of artist), I think you end up skating the madness-infused edges of possibility, catching glimpses of a fantastical truth, which—if consumed in the proper fashion—can make you saner than those around you.

This is definitely true. After forty years in the music biz as AR, the “normal” people, the PTA people, the soccer coach people are far, far, far crazier. Because they don’t have an outlet to ground them.

Some folk are wound far too tight with trying to prove how rational and logical they are. Three Dimensional Physical Reality is OK but it’s not the only place to be.

Agree. Even our most comprehensive model of reality (quantum mechanics) only accounts for a fraction of the matter in the Universe (think like 1%), and there’s a plethora of gaping holes in that model.

Indeed! Good science is about honestly admitting what you don’t know, in my opinion. In formal logic, they actually teach that you can’t definitively prove anything, you can only accept a premise that is constructed from empirical evidence and observation, then proceed to validate a conclusion from that premise.

Couldn’t have said it any better. 🙂 Writing allows me to reach to the depths of my insanity and somehow come out on the other side.
I like how you put it! I’m also an author, but quite of a different genre, but which still requires me to “skate the edges of possibility”. Thanks for popping in to my blog and following!
