This morning I decided I want to try and write with a back seat driver, and I failed. I discovered that there are two separate halves of my brain or what feels like two separate halves. I feel that if I could bring that wall down that I could think even better, faster, sharper.
I would like to build a door between them. Some way that I can bring both sides of my thinking together. Perhaps more of a bridge than a door. Something that crosses the boundary between speaking and writing.
Now the question becomes what is the long term gain of building this bridge. I can’t answer that as I am not at the end. Now I wonder if there are studies about these types of thinking. Something that I could read that would add to the reflection. Something that would help make my thinking more powerful.
I think the best way to build this bridge is transferring the thought for spoken word into written word. People have been doing this for a long time with voice recorders. Thinking out loud and then transcribing their speaking into written word.
This is why I have so few words this morning. I am trying to build this bridge so that one day I can stand in the middle of it while writing. I can’t talk through thoughts while writing them at the same time and access both parts of my brain.
