While we are all here..

Read this article by Amish Tripathi on what clicked  for him in making him a "million plus books sold" gold standard writer , he mentions his wife talking about a parallel universe in which all characters from all stories exist and how writers get a key to that place . So the writer through his book is in a way really setting up a travel agency to that alternate world . Letting more and more people into the world that he unlocked , taking them around on a conducted tour chapter by chapter. If you really were given access to such a world would you let others in or would you keep it all to yourself ? The former and the latter are probably how we know writers and lunatics better. Every lunatic is probably a "million plus books sold"writer who really saw Xanadu and is still roaming the streets wide eyed , too engrossed to find his way back and finally put up that travel agency board.
