I Write Like

I Write Like has become my thinking space. I use it for any piece of text that comes to mind. I've read about authors using particular pens, notepads and settings to write, and could never relate to that. Once a thought came, I would just need to get it out, regardless of the medium. I think with time my brain developed a strong connection between looking at the IWL layout and writing. Now, whenever I see IWL, I form my thoughts faster.

It's probably the same mechanism that makes you feel more energized to work out once you put on sportswear. It signals to the brain what type of work is about to start, so it locks in on the task. When I see my writing space, my brain goes into writing mode.

These days I type most of the time, but I also spent decades journaling longhand. I noticed that when I'm really stuck, and nothing helps, the only rescue is to go back to pen and paper. That's when the hum of the world dies down, and in that silence I can follow this one strand of thought as deeply as it needs to go.
