I guess I just have to keep typing?
What would be the point?
How long do I have before the screen goes fuzzy?
Blank?
I lose everything entirely?
Seems like the best strategy would be just to type really slowly.
Then, your thoughts would always have more room for more words, while you would never fall into the fuzzy screen.
But I don't think that's really the point.
What is the point?
Is the problem that we don't get all of over stream of consciousness out onto the page, constantly? That we never miss a word or a thought? Is everything worthy of being memorialized in solid memory?
Or perhaps the idea is just to get a rough draft down. Let it see where it goes, and then go back and edit.
Some people do have a problem getting started, and "staying" started. I don't know if I do. Seems I can ramble on and ramble along.
What would Hemmingway say?
Is this really the way to do this?
How do "real" writers actually write? Probably not with their words going fuzzy constantly. Probably not under the gun.
Sounds like a concept for a screenplay from a nightmare of a screenwriter.
"I was having the worst dream..."
Had to keep writing or I would lose everything. It was completely amazing, and I couldn't save. No CTRL+S. No CMD+S. No cloud save or autosave. Just have to keep typing.
"It's like the world's most boring remake of Speed. If you ever stop typing, your screenplay blows up."
Who the hell would want to watch that? Or read it?
But I was stuck in that nightmare, having to write it. Constantly. Couldn't stop to think, have a drink, or even go to the bathroom.
