Dunno how to categorize this, so I just put it under the 3 most fitting categories.
I was talking to Tessa today (bless her), and we went over a lot of different things. It was enlightening on many levels, and just overall good to see her again. Anyway, she asked me about my writings. How I did it. And not in the sense of what keyboard I used or whatever.. but how I structured my writings. And it made me think. Not just about that, but about... how I feel a lot of the time when I'm writing. I talk to a lot of people on the internet daily, through work and sparetime. I've met many friends there and just generally, I do a lot of typing during an average day. And the funny thing is, I've noticed many times, but never taken time to analyse, my state of mind when I type.
With a post like this one here, I basically get the idea, open the new entry box, and start typing. And I keep going until the last word in the post is entered. No breaks, no thoughts through the typing. I just let it flow, kind of, from my fingers. That goes for much of the writing I've done through my life. That's one aspect of it. Another is how I sense the world I type in. It's difficult to explain, but my senses change around when I type, depending on mood and speed and purpose. My sight in particular gets distorted, and I get a lot of different impressions. Like claustrophobia inside the text... or fishvision. It's really hard to explain, but I just sort of sense the world in a distorted way. Or confined... or messy. Saw a program about a guy once, who saw numbers as landscapes. Each number had it's own. He was able to name Pi with like 5000 decimals just from the top of his head. That and multiplying large numbers in seconds. It just came to him. I know I'm not a prodigy like him at all, but that's sort of how it appears to me. Not as landscapes, but just as flowing visions. My actual vision can be distorted (of course it happens more when I'm tired), and my intellectual impressions can be weird as well. It's all pretty funky. Like typing on mushrooms.
