The Very Essence of Writing Is: You Want to Tell Someone Something

I don’t have a formula for writing. What I have is something I learned from my professor in Creative writing. It goes like this: the very essence of writing is in your desire to tell someone something.

So go ahead. Say it! Say it to me, explain it, don’t think about writing, think about transfering what your mind built as associations and meaning architectures so that they can further connect with other “buildings”and the ecosystem of ideas (the noosphere) keeps buzzing.

And never aim for perfect, aim for clarity and for intent. It’s not easy. It just IS. It is consciousness unfolding through words and visuals.

If it feels overwhelming, I use mind maps. And then I stop thinking and start listening to where my feeling wants me to go. I don’t hurry.

It is like listening to music, you don’t hurry to listen to the music.

Stay true,
