An observation: Writing & Talking

Lately I’ve begun talking to myself as I write. This, in and of itself is not a new development, but the talking has become more frequent and more insistent. I shake my head and mutter “No, no, no…that’s all wrong.” Or I’ll shout “What’s the word…what is the word?” as I snap my fingers above my head while I try to figure out the word I’m searching for. I gesture wildly with my hands and shout “YES!” when I come up with something that fixes a problem. If something really bad happens, like I accidently delete a paragraph, or cut more than I was trying to cut or write something that’s completely horrible, I whisper to myself “Ugh. Ctrl Z, Ctrl Z, Ctrl Z” until I Ctrl Z and fix whatever I messed up.

I think writing really can drive you crazy.

K, bye.
