TWILIGHT CINNAMON



TRUE that the 'stream-of-consciousness' style of writing as introduced by James Joyce, initially coined by psychologist William James, is an effective weapon to let the flow of thoughts river on your pen and disperse fragments of words into a lucky sheet. Blessed are the writers who have the redolent ideas ignoring any kind of errors in order to consummate free writing in full Monty. I am aware of this breakthrough in literature because it explores the paradise of the subconscious to come into reality. Oftentimes I try this without pouring much attention on grammatical errors, a terror in the city of the figurative language of this method. However it is like a meditative prayer picturing sundry ideas at the back of your head. Back to your bedside stories. Then back to reality. And like a brewing liquor there is an overflow of ideas over twilight cinnamon.

Stream-of-consciousness is a phrase used to describe the procession of thoughts passing through the mind. But fictionist James Joyce unravels this method as a kind of selective omniscient point of view of the author. Not arranged in a logical fashion, but an array of sense impression and a bust preserved as a liberation of the human psyche.

This method is very effective in exploring the metaphysical world and enriching the imaginative perception of things as beings over cloud cuckoo land. Sink your eyes deep into the rivers of the unreal, then on the banks there is reality you can find.
