rockstarjaiden Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I'm wondering... I am a writer and my vocabulary isn't very extensive at all, however, when i write, sometimes i amaze myself after i go back and read some of the things i have written. there is a theory on what is called automatic writing which is where a spirit or energy speaks through you...i'm not sure if i believe that although it's an awesome concept. any thoughts? sometimes i don't even remember what i write! :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSX Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I think writing is just like any art. Feelings can help you to write, just as they help a painter paint, a musician play, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurocomp2003 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 if you want a scientific explanation.. I can only guess that your brain at writer's block ....has jamming signals in your brain..that is perhap if your thinking to hard and of too many things that the neurons in your brain are providing inhibition for one and another to the process or set of neurons that actually let you to continue to write. Perhaps this is located at the thalamus...the gateway to all parts of your brain or the Prefrontal cortex which is supposedly the area of freethinking, planning and most complex thought. Now when you finally are able to write perhaps there is no inhibition between the various areas that are involved in writing your PFC, thalamus, the parietal cortex that controls writing and the speech and word zones. ANd its one continous flow of neuronal firing ...may be even cyclic in some parts that creates the repeated flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Paxton Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Writing is editable, speech has to be right first time. Now I'm the same. I can write better than I can converse. Also, I am an artist, but I am a much better artist on a computer, because the editing shows no imperfections. Also writing is slower, you can spend a longer time to think of each word........ It might be possible also, that spirits help you! Pincho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 What I notice is that when I write, I don't conciously think of the words, I just write. I don't think about it. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 it would be interesting to find out if "Automatic Typing" could be made to produce results? and I`m quite serious, I type faster than I write and it doesn`t hurt my well smashed up hand. as for spirits I`ll refuse to comment on that due to ridicule reasons against me, I will say however that it`s certainly not impossible as mentioned above also, writing like anything else we create is also a form of art (unless it`s homework LOL). and again, remmember not to put yourself down, you`re alot smarter and know alot more words than you think!

Dudde Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 sometimes you just hit your zone, where you write and write, perfectly with ideas that blow you away. You can't remember them because you weren't thinking about it, you were just writing;) That's the best kind of writing to do, it lets a lot more emotion out than just people who write from boredom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 It's like turning on a faucet for me. I just sit there and it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Demosthenes- Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Ideas come to me when I'm listening to music, like Classical and instrumental, only sometimes can I get any good words out of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarjaiden Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 yeah but WHY do you have times when you have your "zone" why are there times when you write something spectacular that you can't believe you wrote it, and THEN not remember even writing it? i don't know. i'm big on paranormal things but... it's possible. anything is these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudde Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 because you're not actually thinking about what you're writing, it's coming straight from the source with no fiddle faddle to interrupt it from your brain where's glider when ya need him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudde Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 it's like painting or drawing, I notice I do better when I'm not actually thinking about what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
