The Authors

In a book, combine the following:
4 cups – Chaotic – for creativity, insanity, obsession, and spontaneity
4 cups – Lawful – for attention to detail, planning, discipline, and development
Balance is key, though a dash greater than the other may slip depending on the flavor du jour.
2 cups – Dark – for poetic musings and drama that’ll spice up plotlines
This is important for consistency. If the melancholy is too much though, balance it out with a dash of Nature; its grounding abilities are proven to be effective.
Optional ingredients, depending on the chapter:
1/4 cup – Demonic – for questionable scenes that’ll worry my mother
1/4 cup – Holy – to restore faith in all those who question my madness
1/2 teaspoon – Undead – for midnight inspirations
1/2 teaspoon – Nature – for worldly inspirations
1/2 teaspoon – Aquaric – for oceanic inspirations
Optimal temperature for motivation is 23° C for up to 28 hours a week; if it’s any warmer, I’m on vacation.
