    I have an idea….what if there are two authors at the same time?

    We already had that with August!

    See this is my problem: Isaac, the only other author we’ve met, knew what he was writing. He didn’t black out during writing or whatever. So…is this a retcon? Or this is just because it’s Henry?

    Did we actually see him actually recording stories as they were supposed to happen? Because I recall the only times we ever really saw him write was when he was tampering.

    Well…what about the rest of the book? Those stories are set down in there so either Isaac wrote them (as they happened) or another author did (but as the happened and were shown through various seasons)

    We never saw him write the rest of the book, so he very well could have had those black outs. Another idea is that maybe black outs are a symptom that a new Author goes through starting out, and they’ll happen less frequently the more Henry learns how to control his Author powers. It could be similar to how Red had to learn how to control her wolf form without blacking out.

    Well they have established that the pen is a living thing.  The pen has the power, and Henry just wields it.  I think it would have made zero sense if all of a sudden Henry became an amazing writer and illustrator.  The fact that he blacks out, and the pen writes it for him, makes sense I think.  Otherwise, how would he be able to  write the things he doesn’t see, like Snow and Charming getting through to baby Neal?  My guess is that the pen does most of the work, but if Henry wanted to write in the book and change things like Issac did, he also could do that.  If this is the case, I don’t see any retcon here, yet.

    Maybe Jacob is using a powerful spell to control the pen from a distance–almost as if the spell were a computer virus that enabled a hacker to control a desktop remotely.

    Is someone writing through Henry, or over taking him during these writing spells?

    In the same episode that the devil became OUAT canon?

    Put down the pen, Henry.
