Something about writing

This is not a comment about writing for those who want to be a writer, or want to be a better writer, or who simply want to write. It is a comment about one thing in particular - observing the PROCESS of thinking and writing in real time so as to learn something (according to me) wonderful, spectacular, mysterious, glorious and a bunch of other superlatives - that may (or may NOT) be a bit too excessive - and NOT about the content of the particular "message" being composed; however, when the PROCESS is operating in overdrive, and being closely OBSERVED, the CONTENT may also reveal words, phrases, points-of-view, connections, directions, never "SEEN" before (in that way) by the author, and sometimes it seems almost miraculous. It meets the only real definition that matters of the concepts - Originality and Creativity.

It is like DISCOVERY in almost every sense of the word, though these discoveries are more about the working of consciousness in a human brain, and the operations of neural circuitry and how it interacts with the older limbic and much older reptilian circuitries, than about things and places and people and institutions in the physical world.

This kind of three-dimensional (or, three-force) writing (PROCESS, OBSERVATION, CONTENT) can not be forced, pushed, pulled, even twisted to make something that doesn't fit, FIT, because it flows out of the nuclear soup that surrounds and consumes and oozes "you" out through your circuitry and senses, and at the end of such mental masturbatory manipulations you often find yourself going, "Wow, I didn't already know that, but now that I have written it, I see it was correct all along. Wow."

One unfortunate "downside" of attempting to master this technique - observing the PROCESS and not the ensuing CONTENT until it takes on the "formality of actually occurring" (this is VERY subtle and difficult to OBSERVE directly and correctly) - is that one starts to accumulate so much (actually occurring) material, that it becomes impossible to keep up and to make it PUBLIC which is certainly not necessary, but an added emotional benefit that would otherwise be missing if it was never made so. Publishing adds a benefit that can't be duplicated otherwise.
