Imported from SF2 with no description.

_Imagination is the grounds where marriages of ideas are possible. All kinds of great, wonderful, and terrible things, can occur within..._

_Wait. **Within?** _

I was thinking of imagination as a 'place', and not a process. Because... it was clearly there, right? A plane or something I could see into, with possibilities like Aerith slugging me senseless with some kind of nondescript keyboard that kept morphing like it was temporally unstable or some--

Tracer: "That'll be because it is, love!"

... right.  I just had to take my muse's word for it. All six hyena-spotted feet of her word. Ayayai...

The issue was that, I think... my filter had broken. Not from Tracer's exposed hyena-tits, mind you, though, that was a start. The part of me that instinctively hid these things from the world, could simply... no longer do such a thing. It just, had simply been enough. Simply. I'd hid, too long, not to let someone see the thought processes in typed format. Simple.

**What part about any of this was SIMPLE?!**

As I kept trying to convince myself of the ease of the work... it just sort of happened. Like a cat walking on a keyboard.

No, the quality... declined there... I'm almost positive of it.

...it seemed like, if I could keep myself positive, maybe the quality of my writing would increase.

_Focus, blockhead. Imagination... what is it?!_

... things were going on together... combinations of wordplays and situational jokes... familiar faces... old ideas. Myths. Conventions. Stories... organisms? Visual data... no, shut up, I'm not a computer, damnit!

It was all getting to be a bit much. I could see the narrative structure breaking down, as I tried too hard to understand the shape of my own mind, and... whatever lay beyond it, that was giving me... **_Imagination_**.

Aerith kept fighting with me over the impulse to type: "You're struggling with the keyboard in your own head!"

And that was when the voice of doom tried to commit this all to insanity. The self-deprecatory. The self-destroyer.

It was then, that I realized... even the most aspiring writing projects, by the most confident of writers, need breaks.

**And like fuck was I the most confident or aspiring.**

**But maybe if I push... just beyond that limit...**

I went and grabbed myself a soda. This was going to be awhile.
