Dave, I had a reverse experience once when my writing invaded my work
schedule. I had a meeting to attend and while walking to work decided to get
inside the head of a rather damaged character I was inventing in the hope of
writing some monologues. The result was I disassociated, ended up some way
pass where I worked in a street I did not know and was 45 minute late for the
meeting.
best, Chris Jones
