July 3rd, 2009I found this bit from a guest blog by David Masters stimulating and challenging.
Stories hold truth more deeply than facts or statements. As a mixture of images and ideas, stories cross the boundary between two types of truth. Storyteller Robert Bela Wilhelm calls these two truth types ‘day-time talk’ and ‘night-time talk’. Day-time talk uses sentences to clearly explain ideas. Night-time talk – the talk of dreams – gives your imagination free reign to use images and fantasy in whichever way it likes. Story provides a way of writing that bridges these two types of truth – allowing the rational conscious mind to be co-present with the creative unconscious mind. Stories satisfy the order required by left-brain thinking while provoking the imagination of right brain thinking.
The site’s called Write to Done. I only stumbled across it a couple of days ago, and it’s a treasure. Books for writers are focussed, but this site is wide-ranging. I found myself clipping more than half the articles in my first feed to study again later. There’s quite a lot of highly practical psychology in the articles.
