I'm an artist and I carry a sketchbook. What you just said about carrying a notebook around, cataloging all your thoughts/ideas so that you're never faced with a blank page... Genius. You've changed me substantially.
"trying to take something in my head, and think about it, then express it through the medium of words. Try to do it well enough so that when someone comes along and reads it, someone that I've never met, can get whats in my head, in there head" - I wish my english teacher would have explained it like this!
I found this video completely absorbing! Thanks for sharing your process. I will incorporate the idea of including the outline on the page, then eliminate them as I go. I think that will help me to stay on track -- thank you for the tip!
I was very moved by the authenticity of your voice. For someone in this impulsive culture to confess that they actually *think about things,* and at depth, and is willing to wait for clarity -- that is an act of real courage and vulnerability.
Nice video, Scott. It's always interesting to see how another writer writes and I picked up a couple of good tips, especially when I get stopped and am thinking. Thanks for the insite.
Great job, Scott! Or maybe I should say, GOOD SCOTT, GREAT JOB! We all know what we do to get our writing written, but to see it in super-speed, really breaks down what it is that we do. Thanks for this! ;-))
Wish I had done this with NanowriMo. Alot of dead time, like an hour or so. Staring, thinking, thinking about staring. Trying to stare at my thoughts and thinking what they may look like if i could stare at them.
Then I would blink, and see the screen again.
Thanks for the video. The wife and I are hoping to get me writing with purpose. She says it is a ten year plan. I want a year. But we will see. Appreciate this video. Thank you.
I haven't read the essay -- and I'm not sure I will -- but the video and the commentary made lots of the same points that I use to guide my own writing and that I try and share with other people. thanks.
It is really cool to realise that you create a text writing. We shouldn't dread a blank page, that's how we write. You created several begginings, what reminds us that you find the structure of the text in the middle of the exercise of writting.
It just shows how important a first draft is. Well, maybe not only the first, but the second and all the night spent. Really cool idea of yours. Forgive my English, there may be some mistakes on my writting (Im brazillian)
