Since we already had a conversation going about where ideas come from, I thought I’d mention that I just changed my e-mail signature to this quote from Oscar Wilde:
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
That’s kind of what I was trying to say last Friday; if you always see the world as it is and never think of the possibilities, you will never be a writer of fiction, or any kind of artist. And Oscar Wilde with think you are a BORING PERSON, a fate too hideous to imagine. Quick! Think an original thought!
