I Wish...

Maybe I talked about this before a long time ago? Oh well... I really wish there was an instrument (or tool, whatever you want to call it) that could translate my brain waves into writing! Is there anything like that?! That would so cool

I just haven't found that place anymore where it's quiet enough to have ideas flow through my head. It use to be at the other building I worked at, because it was quiet there. Now, I work at the main store, and it's so noisy.

Not that I didn't do my work. It's just my mind could wonder off while I was designing and I thought of ideas to write later (making a quick note so I wouldn't forget).

I totally know what you mean! When I was out on site, it was just me in a quiet hotel room in a lonely little town. It was easy to think. Same as when I was at work too. No one to bother me at all, so I was free to write whenever the ideas came to me.

Now? Not so much. The moment I thought of maybe writing something down today, someone came into the lab =__=;; And it's always noisy, so I can't think.

YAY you changed your creepy profile pic?? =D

I have the same problem of not being able to write when the words come to me...if I'm at my desk at work I'll send a quick email to myself with my idea, but by the time I get home I've lost what I wanted to say, and the email makes no sense =\

What I've found that works a little bit is, if the scene is clear in my head, to just replay it over and over, or repeat a line that I want to write, over and over, until I have time to actually sit down and write it out. Usually by then, the scene has grown beyond the bare bones it started out as and writing is straightforward. Doesn't always work though.

Haha, I did~

Aww... Seems like a common problem. I'm usually in the lab all day, so I'm not at a computer. It's so noisy with the fumehoods and people coming in and out; I can't focus for any length of time.

I've done the replay thing as well, but what usually happens is that I remember the sentence I wanted to start the scene with. Everything after that... Not so much. So yeah, just have this random sentence that I like and have to try to work around that.

I've been so empty of ideas. It's been pretty depressing. I want to be creative and I so miss my fandoms but I've just been engrossed in adult life and adjusting to its responsibilities. I haven't had the focus I need. Sometimes I don't feel like I even know how to write anymore.

[aerysa]

Aww! I wouldn't say that I'm empty of ideas, but I just don't have the motivation to sit down and work on things. It definitely doesn't come to me as easily as it did when I was in the midst of the writing craze. But yeah, considering our love of the art, it's really sad that we can't spend time on it.

BUT! You definitely wouldn't NOT know how to write. It just feels that way since the dry spell has been so long now. Once life takes over, it's hard to create those situations where things just flow naturally.
