So this is the second weird thing that happened to me while I was editing Book 6, Gappy and the Witch's Curse: Don't read this if you don't want to learn what happens at the end of book 6. There's an episode where a skeleton starts growing innards, like organs and muscles and blood vessels. I'd been working on this section for a while, so my head was full of images of what that would look like. Needing a break, I came into the living room and flipped on the TV to see what was on. The channel that came on was playing the movie "Hollow Man" starring Kevin Bacon. It was just beginning a scene where a huge invisible monkey - a baboon or gorilla - was being injected with a formula which would make the monkey become visible again. As the formula snaked through the veins and arteries of the animal, they became visible like a web curling around the body and weaving in and out. Slowly organs and bones began to plump into visibility, then skin and muscles. I couldn't believe my eyes because what I was watching was the exact same scene (except that my skeleton was human) of what I had just been editing in my book!
