ONE AUTHOR'S EXPERIENCE.
As :iu experiment, I once planned two novels, to lie worked on simultaneously. One plot was shaped during a stormy period, and the other during a bn-f season of sunshine and summer glory which immediately followed. Whenever it was stormy I worked upon the stormplanned novel, and whenever the weather was bright I worked upon the other. In each instance I wholly surrendered myself to the moods which the weather stirred up within me, and made no effort to shake off the good cheer of the one or the despondency with which the other encompassed me. As a result, the novel upon which was settled no shadow of the storm-taint, was cheerful and goodhumoured, but the other was so bitter, mournful, and vindictive that I never printed it.
