The Write Habit

Can a Critical Thinker Use Automatic Writing? Interview with Academic Hilary Wason

Can a sharp, critical mind really embrace automatic writing? 

In this episode, I speak with Associate Professor Hilary Wason, who proves the answer is yes.

 A teacher of critical thinking for future leaders, Hilary shares how she balances rigorous logic with the practice of channeling words—and how it’s transformed both her writing and her life.

We talk about:

  • Her take on AI in higher education and critical thinking
  • Why she doesn’t see automatic writing as spiritual
  • How she wrote a book proposal and 15,000 words through my Automatic Writing courses
  • Who she chose as her “inner guidance” to begin her book
  • Her honest reflections on resistance, trust, and making big life decisions


Hilary is living proof that automatic writing isn’t just for mystics—it’s a practical, powerful tool for thinkers, creators, and anyone ready to start their book.
