“The Mind of Your Story” by Lisa Lenard-Cook: Fiction Writers may have a natural, creative form of multiple personality

“Perhaps I’m lucky: I’ve got voices in my head, and when one of these voices begins speaking, it’s all my 120-words-per minute can do to keep up. Plus my characters arrive with names, biographies, even astrological signs. If you prefer not to be a veritable Sybil of fiction, however, you’ll want to create biographies for your characters before you begin” (1, p. 14).

Comment: Sybil was a famous case of multiple personality.
