“Multiple personality trait” champions the sanity of fiction writers, even though fiction writers’ private thoughts are weird by the standards of most people

In a post yesterday, I made the point that my literary theory, as expressed in this blog, does not see fiction writers as crazy, but as manifesting “multiple personality trait,” which is found in only a minority of the public, but is normal.

But without my theory, I think that most people would question the sanity of fiction writers, if they knew how fiction writers were actually thinking; for example, as expressed by Toni Morrison in quotations found in past posts, in which she treats her characters as if they were real people—actually, “more real than real”—who allegedly tell her things that she does not know, and says it was Chloe Wofford (the name by which her family knows her), not Toni Morrison (only a nickname), who collected the Nobel Prize in 1993.
