Ever woken up at 3 AM with a plot twist so good you were convinced it wasn’t entirely your idea? Yeah—same.
In this episode of Pros Talking Prose, Stacey and Troy go full woo (but keep it grounded) as they explore the mysterious, magical, and mildly unhinged side of the creative process. From dream downloads to possessed plotlines, sacred rituals to intuitive writing, we’re pulling back the veil on the stuff authors don’t always admit out loud. Is it the muse? Is it your subconscious? Or are you just finally letting your brain breathe for five minutes?
We discuss:
The science and spirituality behind where ideas come from
Writing rituals that work (even if you don’t believe in crystals)
Flow state, gut writing, and other weirdly effective methods
What it really means to “channel” a character
Why your best ideas come in the shower (and what to do about it)
Whether you’re a full-on mystic or just mystified by your own imagination, this episode gives you permission to embrace the mystery and trust the process. No altar required. Just light a metaphorical candle and press play.
