Blind Writing - Tapping Into Your Creative Mind
"How can a blind person write!?" you ask.
Well, it's not quite like that….. Hang on and I'll explain.
Your subconscious mind holds massive amounts of information that you do not have ready access to. In fact, sometimes it seems that it is as if it purposely hiding from you. However, such is not really the case. It is simply that your brain is like a giant database continuously absorbing and retaining information for future use.
The sorting of these massive amounts of information takes place in your sleep. It is as if a little clerk goes to work in the middle of the night and grabs these bits and pieces of information you have absorbed during the day, sorts and then files them in the appropriate locations to be called upon at a later time. But this mini-clerk in your brain can only go to work when you hit a deep sleep.
What happens with this information?
Most of it is never used. We're all familiar with how information is easily lost in the physical world even in the best of filing systems. Our modern databases with their ability of allow you to find information by doing searches based on specific words, phrases, dates, and more have been a boon to industry. In fact, the entire IT sector of Business Intelligence is built around serving these needs. Yet, not all related information can be brought up by one of these searches.
Why? Because the system is dependent upon the data in the original file.
For example, you are looking for all information in your files on a client named Bruce Jones. So you do a search for "Bruce Jones" and to ensure that you get only documents on that specific person rather than pulling up all persons named Jones you make it a search phrase. Well done. But, suppose that the crucial document you are looking for has a typo and the name is spelled "Burce Jones". Your search will not find that document.
Our brains are even touchier in the search department. Instead of relying only upon specific keywords, your brain uses all senses in absorbing information: hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. The result? Your internal database is far pickier on retrieving information than any computer database will ever be.
So, how can you pull up that information that is simmering in your brain just out of reach of your conscious mind?
What I originally termed as "Blind Writing" can help. In Henriette Ann Klauser's book, Writing on Both Sides of the Brain, she explains that you need both sides of your brain to be involved in writing – but one side at a time. As you may know, the two sides of your brain serve different functions. The left side works in a logical sequence, is rational, analytical, and objective and looks at parts rather than the whole. The right side is random in processing, intuitive, holistic in synthesizing, subjective and looks at wholes. Klauser puts it in simple terms as it relates to writing: The left side is the editor and the right side is creative.
Remember those filing systems? In the physical world data is generally stored logically. However, the brain stores information randomly. So how do we tap into a "random database"?
We do what I've termed "Blind Writing". I'll tell you in a minute how, but that has to wait just a bit longer.
First, back to Klauser in Writing on Both Sides of the Brain. She explains that to reach into the creative side of your mind you must first shut down the editor. To do this, she advises setting aside everything else and simply writing for 10 minutes. To keep your editor from kicking in and trying to change things, you need to force yourself to just keep writing. If you are using pen and paper, keep the pen on the paper and keep writing. If you are using the computer, keep typing no matter what.
Here's where my term "Blind Writing" comes in.
When I first started doing this I selected using the computer since I can generally type faster than I can write. However, I found that the editor kept kicking up her head wanting me to stop and fix stuff. At the time I still used a desktop computer so the screen was farther from me than with my laptop. Since I am nearsighted, I would simply take off my glasses while I typed so that the screen was only a blur. This held that editor at bay because she couldn't see the screen. Hence, Blind Writing was born.
I did learn quite quickly, however, that I could easily also get my hands in the wrong position on the keyboard and end up with gibberish, so I would peek occasionally at the screen.
Now, here's the deal about the 10 minute requirement.
Generally, you will run out of words to type or write within a few minutes. Since you have forced your brain to keep supplying you with words, it is forced to search for topics to write about. When you run out of words, Klauser points out, your brain "hits the wall" like a runner does in a marathon. The runner gets his second wind and keeps going. Since you keep writing regardless of the lack of words, your brain scrambles to fill the void.
To fill this void I often find myself writing such things as…
"I have to keep writing even if I don't know anything to say. I promised myself I'd keep writing so I am going to keep writing..."
… and on and on until my brain gets to its "second wind".
Since you've shut off your editor (the left side of the brain), the brain's only recourse it to pull from the right side. Thus, instead of seeking out the linear, analytic information it dives right into the random world of the right side. While dealing over there it starts putting these random bits of information into a logical sequence for writing. That when it hits its second wind.
Suddenly thoughts start spilling out that you never knew were in there. Don't be surprised if you are actually quite amazed at what appears. You have now tapped into the creative side of your mind and it is randomly grabbing bits of information and making sense of them.
So welcome to my world of Blind Writing. Try using it in a journal to access the recesses of your mind. I'm sure you'll find it an enlightening experience. Plus, you will find yourself coming up with ideas that are totally new to you and possibly to anyone else. Do it daily and you'll find resolutions to personal issues that have eluded you to that point. You might also end up being the creative one at work, the person who can "think outside the box", and the person that management seeks out for promotion.
Go for it. Get "blind" and get writing!
