Abstract | The author of this article states that, as a fiction writer, he is reluctant to discuss process, yet, at war with a mystical stance about writing fiction, is the belief he imparts to his students that writing is a craft that can be taught, mastered, and understood. This article describes the seemingly subconscious approach to the writing of "The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp," the author's first novel about the Arthurian legend for young adults. He relays the various "subconscious demons" that drove the writing of this book: his fascination with universal themes of honor, loyalty, courage, faith, and sacrifice, as well as certain autobiographical compulsions.
