Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] cesario, and posted in the vain hope that answering it may stir some deep-buried ember of creativity to life again, it's:

Ask me a question about my writing. Any story, or no particular story, general or specific, addressed to me or one of my characters. And then if you're a writer post this in your own journal.

Peter Himmelman (http://peterhimmelman.com/) did, with his 1989 album and song by that name. "Synesthesia / everything is upside down / synesthesia / I hear the colours and I taste the sounds..."

I looked up synaesthesia in my Dictionary of English Literature and found that it was a form of poetic metaphor; and at that time I thought that was really all that it was, and hey, wouldn't it be keen -- and disturbing -- if somebody actually did see things that way all the time?

I didn't realize until much later, after I'd actually written "Touching Indigo", that it was an actual, documented, testable scientific phenomenon. So then I was even more fascinated with the idea than I'd been before.
