The Holy Spirit: comforter, testifier of truth, author?

Sometimes I like to look up and learn about inspiring people on Wikipedia. Today, I looked up Robert Louis Stevenson and was reading about how he came to write "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Here's what I found:

Stevenson had long been interested in the idea of the duality of human nature and how to incorporate the interplay of good and evil into a story ... Stevenson had a dream, and on wakening had the intuition for two or three scenes that would appear in the story. "In the small hours of one morning," says Mrs Stevenson, "I was awakened by cries of horror from Louis. Thinking he had a nightmare, I woke him. He said angrily, 'Why did you wake me? I was dreaming a fine bogey tale.' I had awakened him at the first transformation scene ..."

Upon reading that, I was reminded of something I read a few months back about J.K. Rowling and the coming into being of Harry Potter.

In 1990, while she was on a four-hour-delayed train trip from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry "came fully formed" into her mind. "I really don't know where the idea came from", she told The Boston Globe, "It started with Harry, then all these characters and situations came flooding into my head." When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she began to write immediately.

So I thought I'd look up another another classic tale of good vs. evil. J.R.R. Tolkien has this to say about Lord of the Rings:

The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like 'religion', to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism.

That quote doesn't really prove that he was inspired, but seeing as J.R.R. was a deeply religious man, one can assume he had the spirit with him and guiding him.

I find that fascinating and beautiful and I'm sure there's a million other cases like these.
