That is indeed interesting. Maybe creative people have an extra does of pareidolia, the false recognition of familiar patterns in random noise. Faces on Mars, that sort of thing.

Maybe I should go stare at clouds before writing sessions. Heck, there could be a Rorschach method of outlining. I have bottles of ink for my fountain pens.

Could be I was making the mistake of spilling the ink out of nibs instead of directly out of the bottle… Oh, wait, never mind. I’ve actually already done that. Inadvertently. That’s why I don’t move the settee.
