Poem by Omar Khayyám
Q: How do I give the proper credit to the poet of this untitled poem?

I sent my Soul through the Invisible, Some letter of that After-life to spell, And by and by my Soul returned to me, And answered, I Myself am Heav'n and Hell: Heav'n but the Vision of fulfill's Desire, And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves, So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire. ~ Omar Khayyám ~

Like A Splinter In Your Mind [The Matrix film]
Current thoughts: responding to "he had not found himself...". I have used this type of "identity loss" in my own FICTION, yet, I was never serious about the subject, because I did not understand what "ego death" was about. I was using the idea ironicly, writing a fictional lie, for how can any person claim the can't find themselves? While reading a analysis of "House Made of Dawn" for Wikibooks, I had this flash: like a scar on one's minds, then I decided to share this fictitious idea with any one who happens across this page. The idea was that some drugs scar one's mental mind, leaving pain, like a scar on your mind. What if a individual is exposed to many psychedelic drugs at once, completely un-prepared. No, I do not think people should do this, yet yes, I do think exposure to certain drugs will cause a "ego loss" without the individual becoming unconscious. This is related to lucid dreaming, yet is more about people hallucinating, experience a lack of their self-realizing "I," without any way to explain what is happening to them. People who have been warned, like the character Neo, [ The Matrix film] MAY BELIEVE THEY ARE HAVING A DRUG-RELATED MENTAL BREAKDOWN. Yet people who have no previous preparation, may experience "ego-death," then upon their recovery, a "ego-rebirth" as they have to explain what they can not explain. Some people detach, suggestion possible reasons for their shift in realization, in their personal journal pages. What if people who are not prepared, obsess about things that happened to them? Although they may seem like the same person, they may seem to have a different personality. They may question aspects of their non-dreaming reality. I think about this when I analyse Neo's character [ The Matrix ]. He seemed changed, convinced that something was 'different" about his reality. From unpleasant experiences, I can relate. This is not something drug-seller brag about, or want other people to learn about. The reality of having a mental breakdown, without being prepared, due to over-exposure to drugs is more like a chemical burn on your mind. Peyton09 (discuss • contribs) 20:58, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Sky Library?
Does Wikibooks seem like a virtual library? Maybe a home library accessed with one's personal computer? Levar Burton of Reading Rainbow television fame, spoke of connections and bookfiles creating 'sky libraries." I can relate. Why not create a "chat room" with local libraries? The community in the Reading Room seems similar to a chat room, yet much more similar and kind, maybe because of individual personal experiences. If Public Libraries gave computer rooms and computer space to "READING CHAT ROOMS," people who are polite, and value information sharing, sharing book recommendations, and using the written language to politely communicate with other people online, will probably recommend library books to special chatters in chat rooms, donate books, and encourage new writers who visit the school or public library. They may even volunteer to help local NANOWRIMO [national novel writing campaigns], a campaign I read makes efforts to reward local youth for attempting to write a 50,000 word book in 30 days, and other writer's challenges.

START A PAGE? [A SECTION FOR NEW PAGE CREATIONS...]
Greetings, I have a new idea for beginning writers interested in creating "original" vampire, ghost, and angelic characters. We could start a new section encouraging beginners to start a new page "Create A Page" [...from your perspective]. First: I assume that if we at Wikibooks have shared a good guide explaining the historic, and cultural importance of vampires, ghost, angels...ect, then we can be "helpful" and share useful information, and links, to help people quickly start by visiting "Create A Page."

 * What you're describing sounds, at first blush anyway, like original research. Original research is listed at What Wikibooks is not. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 20:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Pi zero! I have returned, and I am happy to have been noticed by other people. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I think you are right, because you are a non-profit Writer / Editor interested in sharing a free textbook [open source] for the public [people all around the world]. Because the volunteers on this website have good intent, I'm going to quickly agree. Although...I have been thinking, and I shared my proposal for a new-type-of-textbook for people who are creative. I suggest we create "new textbooks" for creative writing Teachers and students. Yep, a original type of textbook for creative people. Although I am stubborn, I did change my perspective after researching the topic. If Wikibooks promises "traditional" textbooks [old style informative books], then I move to open the first chapters of Create Vampires with a introduction to FOLKLORE. Why do people collect folk stories? Is there a cultural significance? What is the History, and modern use? As a guide, I admit that this is a better direction. Thanks for sharing your time.

 * Truthfully, it's not a question of "old-style" versus "new-style". Our definition of "book" is pretty minimal and subject to variations if someone has an innovative approach in mind, but there are some fundamental principles.  One of which is, no original research.  That's not what this project is for.  We could certain host a book about how to write creative fiction, in general or of some particular kind; but hosting original works of fiction is outside our scope. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 20:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

THANK YOU PI!!! THAT IS [NOW] WHAT I AM [PARTLY] TALKING ABOUT! I'll summarize: I have responded to my critics by modifying my original idea for a Wikibook about original works of fiction, beginning with the vampire. As I understood more about Wikibooks, their mission statement and PURPOSE, I had to modify my plan. This is  now  my BIG OUTLINE PLAN: History: Folklore of Vampires English Literature: The Most Important Questions Critics Ask About Vampires [SECTIONS FROM POPULAR LITERARY CRITICS] Self-Instructional: How To Write Creative Fiction About Vampires [and where to publish your ORIGINAL WORKS]. This IDEA is better, because of WIKIBOOK VOLUNTEERS! I am learning how to link, make info-boxes, ad upload pictures / illustrations.

PROTECTING PEOPLE?
Would people please discuss their reason, or the reason for discouraging original research on Wikipedia, Wikibooks and online in general? I have a idea, that time-sensitive material is not to be shared with other people, meaning, in fairness, we should allow people to check their original ideas before posting their ideas, dreams and use of their imaginations in public view.

Although this seems restrictive, this could be protective of creative individuals, and a better guide. I admit, I assume other people would cheer to own a virtual Wikibook copy of my / our book, sharing our passions for stories, filled with tips and guidelines. I assume Art analysis [in LANGUAGE ARTS] would be informative, and interesting, if it is about the Fiction that is popular with students, and book lovers. Many people do support deconstructive efforts in Language Arts [Language is a common means of communicating with other people. People do reconstruct language]. I also admit that careful reflection, plot consideration, and time is needed to develop good books. I started Create Vampires, because I think research can be interesting, and entertaining, as well as informative. I also think language and writing can be creative, and should be encouraged by most people who lai-ca reading. Contributions? Peyton09 (discuss • contribs) 19:09, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Young Adults may develop better communication skills, and better writing skills in creative writing classes in High schools. If student skills do not increase, then students will probably benefit by getting introduced to books used by creative writers [A thesaurus, dictionaries...]. Although most people think encyclopedias have a high information content, other types of books do attract different students. These resources should get introduced in schools that support creative writing lessons. Peyton09 (discuss • contribs) 19:16, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Written Entertainment?
Do people lai-ca reading entertaining stories? Did people hope to share clean entertaining books [for young people] for free? Are we the "dreamers" following the open-book textbook guides on Wikipedia, hoping to change the perspective?

I do appreciate sharing a learning experience as the reward for the time and efforts put into writing a book. I think creative people are similar, and may appreciate sharing a pleasing experience, a original prespective, or a novel idea as a reward for getting other people to listen, take time out and share the reading experience.

The original impulse for Create Vampires was to share stimulating new designs for creating vampire stories. Sharing techniques and tips would be the advantage. Learning the history and value of folklore became a important reason to communicate, and inform the public.

I thank all volunteers at Wikibooks who have contributed, and encourage more discussion! Peyton09 (discuss • contribs) 19:41, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Post-dreamy False Reality Fiction
Hello wikibookians! I want to share this personal note from my essay "Post-Dreamy False Reality Fiction" because I am a spiritual person disturbed by current political responses. The only semi-mythological, semi-historical figure that modern readers follow, and think was sacrificed, then was risen on the third day, is Jesus of The Bible. This story, the greatest story ever told, is complicated. ...the mythological origin of the Vam-Pai-Yers, the Egyptian origin inspired by the gods in "Dancing Near The Fai-Yer / Fire" although oddly flawed, does not rival The Bible as a spiritual guide. ...I may write a longer article about "False Reality" as a popular literary genre, replacing older classifications such as "horror," "Gothic," or "post-apocalyptic" as formulaic genre guides.
