Good fiction authors have an amazing gift when you think about it

Authors, in their minds, act out the thoughts and feelings of their characters as they are writing. Authors are essentially improv acting a multiple hour scene by themselves.

And at the same time as they are doing that, it’s like they also have to be in charge of staging, cinematography, etc…

And also at the same time, they have to reduce these bubbling thoughts into a written story, something that requires significant technical and artistic skill to achieve high quality.

Speaking of good fiction, here’s my latest work for your enjoyment:

I was walking with my friend Dan, and we approached this lady with a cocker spaniel. I pointed to the dog and said “cocker spaniel.” Dan then goes up to the dog, unzips his pants, and slaps the dog in the head with his penis. I shouted “what are you doing?!” And he said, “you said cock her, Daniel.” The lady believed him and swung her huge purse into the side of my head, and now I can’t hear out of that ear. I would tell you more but my wife just said it’s time for head.

As Hemingway said - writing is easy, just sit at a typewriter and bleed

You do realize that fiction was written long before any of this stuff was even a concept, right?
