Thank you so much for another excellent discussion! Our minds were blown when Sara mentioned the connection to Frankenstein.
It was also enlightening when Reg introduced the id/superego into the discussion. That made me think of this recent Jonathan Rogers piece about the inner critic. He says,
"People who give writing advice sometimes talk about the importance of silencing the inner critic. I get what they mean, but I think it’s more helpful to say, Don’t let the inner critic silence you. We have a name, after all, for people who have successfully silenced the inner critic. We call those people lunatics."
