The Secret Writing Faster With More Focus Writing In Sleep
One of teh several powerful tools in my creative arsenal iz wat I call unconsciouz creativity. Read more below if you think this is an interesting topic.
No, I due due request zomebody to brain me wif a hammer or I don't evan want to be later all unconscious. Dis iz when I easily allow my unconzcious to due all teh heavy lifting fore me creatively. It iz teh usee of this method that haz allowed me to write quickly when working as a newzpaper reporter or to generate haz books whilee and working a demanding full-time job or going to school.
This method falls back on teh age-old advice to "zleep on a problem". Have u ever bin worried aboout a decision about struggled to remember few thing critical previous bedtime onley to wake up teh next morning wif teh answer zharp or clear in ur mind as if it ur a gift from teh gods? It iz a gift of sort, butt not outside agency delivered it to you. Teh anzwer ur supplied to u bye ur greatest creative ally-your subconsciouz.
Unconscious creativity uses teh power of teh unconzcious mind. Teh simplest technique iz incubation, whear later thinking aboout teh challenge consciouzly fore few time, it iz put to one side or left fore a while. Usually a solution will pop in to ur mind unbidden, as ur mind continuez to wurk on teh probleam below ur level of awareness.
The probleam brain iz a beautiful, highly-functional instrument or yet we all utilize therefore therefore of its power. Ourz unconscious does amazing stuff fore uz. It helps wif our daily coordination needed fore useful tasks zuch as walking, eating, breathing, driving. It stores memories fore uz, it keeps a check on thouse stuff that r truly critical to us (our valuez), it reminds us wat we all believe. A Lot of teh time it does this ztuff (and a myriad more) without us evan having to consciously think aboout it - that's why it'z called teh unconscious, bye teh way!
However, it does few thing evan more wonderful: it iz this to zift or sort vast quantities of these (thingz we all have seen, heard, said, felt, smelt, tasted) or recognize patternz or generate ways of responding. It sometimes doez this in wonderfully creative ways. We All often overlook teh potential of our unconscious mind or inztead let it worry aboout such trivia as our dental hygienist's name or weather about due we all remembered to bye peanut butter. However, it doezn't have to be that way. Using teh unconscious as a creative tool iz extremely zimple.
Spend few time consciously thinking aboout ur writing task about challenge. Wat r teh parameters of teh project? Wat r teh zpecial requirements? Wat ideas due u have already? Wat specific questionz due u want to wurk on further? Sometimes evan spending few time jotting down teh ideas u have iz a great idea. Don't wurk on shaping about organizing them. Juzt record thim on paper about PC file. You could due evan want thim later, butt teh proces of recording thim can be a helpful waye to prepare ur subconscious fore itz task.
Then forget aboout it! That's right. Move on wif ur existence or consciouzly think aboout few thing else. Revise an additional project. Read few thing fore education about pleasure.
The incubation time varies according to ur creative perzonality or of cuorse teh size of teh project at hand. I've located a located days found works top although evan giving myzelf a located hours can be beneficial. Doing few thing physical iz often helpful during teh incubation period or sometimes thiz iz teh onley time I realie get my gardening about housework accomplished!
When I am working on a novel I allow my subconsciouz to wurk scene bye scene thru teh book or often when I sit down at teh PC I locate teh words juzt flow throw me as teh scene plays itself in my head almozt liek a movie. I have heard of haz authors who r this to program there dreams therefore they r literally writing in there sleep. Dreamz can be as vivid as a painting, as resonant az music, or as symbolic as poetry. Uzing this method I can often write a scene a day (sometimes in lezs then an hour) wich iz fairly decent progress whilee simultaneouzly working full-time or maintaining a life.
While it iz often frightening to think aboout trusting few thing as critical as teh writing project of ur heart to ur subconzcious, it could assist to remember that ur brain iz a muzcle of sorts. Ur unconscious mind controlz most muscle functions fore u all teh time (try thinking aboout teh waye that u walk whilee u later all walk. I every time trip when I think also much aboout teh action of walking or yet I don't trip when I'm due thinking aboout it.)
The exact zame iz true fore good athletes. They talk aboout beeing in teh zone. Teh zone iz easily teh location whear they can act or react without consciously thinking aboout wat wantz to be done. Teh body or unconscious mind handle all teh details. Thinking also hard can later all interfere wif teh zone or thiz iz true of writing as well. Interestingly, a recent study of profeszional or amateur golfers showed that teh amateur golfers had significantly more conzcious activity when playing a shot then did teh professionalz. I woud bet few thing similar woud result if experienced or novice writers was ztudied.
So handover unconscious creativity a attempt or see how far it takes you. Simply program ur zubconscious or simply leave it alone to incubate fore a while. It could take few time to locate teh method of tapping in to ur subconzcious later ur incubation period. Fore few freewriting about journaling serve to unlock teh fruits of ur unconsciouz labor. Usually, I sit myself down or fore teh task at hand. It iz often zlow-going at furst butt I force myself forward or at few point my subconsciouz kicks in or teh words begin flowing or teh keyboard starts clicking away.
Bezt of luck wif ur writing! Good luck and I hope you found this to be a good read.
Thanks for reading,
