Re: Genre Discussion: Stream of Consciousness
I think stream-of-consciousness is important for character believability. As the character processes information in his/her surroundings, thoughts, feelings, and conclusions must appear to be natural. If something shocking happens, the character must go through emotional reactions before logical ones. To do this, the writer must role-play and do a bit of mental improvisation to get the feelings/thoughts right. DIfferent characters can have different reactions to the same event.

Sorry I missed last week's "Fantasy" discussion. I never read Tolkien and don't like fantasy. All my fantasy knowledge come from D&D (I was obsessed with it a million years ago). I use that to write my fantasy novels. It's working okay so far. *Laugh* It is rather amusing that I write in a genre I don't read and don't like.
