I’ve noticed that when on the odd occasion that I hand write
a story as I used to do exclusively before I started making blog entries almost
3 years ago that when I use Microsoft word there is something lost in the
spontaneity of what comes out of my head. Maybe it’s just the second rewrite being
always different than the first but pen and ink translate thoughts differently
than typing ever could. I just have to weigh the extra time spent writing then
transcribing. However, it never comes out the same way twice. Does anyone else
have any thoughts about this phenomenon?
Automatic writting is done with pen and ink. It is taping into the creativity of the universe. Computers don't cut it.
ReplyDeleteMany moons ago as a graduate student I was assigned as an intern to the East/West Center of Holistic Health. It was a difficult task for me since I had to be home by 3 when my kids returned from school In order to make up the time I worked on Sat. and Sun. It was an incredibly valuable learning experience. I was taught a technique call "automatic writing". Writing was never my forte but I thought I would give it a try. This is how it is done. Put your pen on the paper and close your eyes . Let your pen move over the paper when you are done translate it
ReplyDeleteSomeone gave you dictation software a while back, didn't they?
