When Famous

Synopsis:
In 1797, Coleridge awoke from a restless opium dream and began to write Kubla Khan. A few lines into the poem, he was interrupted by a "person from Porlock". Some people think this was an actual person; others believe it was a fiction created by Coleridge to explain his inability to finish the poem; still others feel it may have been an opium inspired hallucination. I've always found it an interesting fable presenting the fragility of creative momentum. The Challenge to writers: - Write a 5-8 minute scene that springboards from this tale - an interruption of creativity and a right turn into a wildly different direction
