>I like writing because it forces you to turn vague feelings into concrete ideas.
Yep. I've started painting my dreams and it is surprisingly difficult to turn vague memories into concrete scenes. It's almost physically exhausting.
- johnchristopher 3y agoDo you paint them as you remember them or do you write them down before ?
- PhilipRoman 3y agoI try to paint them as soon as possible after waking up. Usually I just write down a list of keywords, that seems enough to keep my brain from erasing them. I don't think it's really possible to capture a scene in text. The text only serves as memory aid.
- lacrimacida 3y agoThat’s interesting, care to share them?
- Geee 3y agoI did this one time when I saw a particularly beautiful scenery. I could remember the elements mostly, but didn't quite manage to capture the beauty of it.
