That's a tough one, Tom!

As long as we have a brain, we are kinda detached from what we call the 'real world', so I'm really not sure..

My body kinda goes with what my brain comes up with, listens to it, and then decide how to take it further.. laugh

I feel like an audience for my own ideas! The ideas are like cultural products ("the muse" comes with'em, right?), and my writing is then how I respond/or want to respond to that.

Hmm, is that the idiot's answer?
