Yes, and I finished it. It's a novel and I recently completed the second draft of it. There are some highly spiritual components to the story so I am not sure it will sell well.
I'd been working on another book at the time and felt called away from that, to write the aforementioned one.
I believe that all good artists are, in fact, channelers, even if they do not realize this. The art comes from 'somewhere.'
There is actually quite a bit on the subject. You've just got to know where to look! ;-) Some books have been channeled that are of a spiritual nature like, "The Seth Books" by Jane Roberts and books by Sanaya Roman in working with a spirit named, "Orin." These are not fictional pieces, however, but non-fictional ones.
William Blake, George William Russell and Carl. G. Jung are just some writers who consciously worked with their spirits and with Source to create both writing and artwork.
Sir Isaac Newton would meditate to get ideas for inventions.
Of course, some took 'short-cuts' to expand their consciousness to better their art. Samuel Taylor Coleridge made use of opium and created his magnum opus poem, "Kubla Khan."
Hermann Hesse, Jack Kerouac, Rumi, Dante Alighieri, Kahlil Gibran, W.B. Yeats, Robert Graves, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Rabinadranath Tagore -- these are yet more writers who practiced spiritually to improve their work and the results of their work demonstrate that.
Meditation and other spiritual practices have made me a better writer because such things help me to be 'in tune' -- to more readily access the, 'Ocean of Knowledge.'
Also, just work on the story you are doing now without forcing yourself onto the others just yet. Their time will come and so will yours. Keep on going and don't give up! Good luck!
