Ever notice how much my journal is about thoughts in my head
You would see how much complaining, analyzing and brooding I do if you read my handwritten journals. You won't see them unless you outlive me, except for the parts that morph into something higher. I mostly use LJ to experiment with creative writing. That's why I tell so many stories here.
I would like my intuition to produce some more mature, thoughtful and even philosophical writing. But at this phase of my life that function is busy struggling with some basic problems like self-confidence, unemployment and resentment towards my parents.
Perhaps you will notice that my comments reveal a different aspect of my from the things I post in my journal. I put more thought into my comments.
My creative writing is highly spontaneous. It doesn't seem to come from myself at all. The task of the writer is to get his personality out of the way so the universe can blast something beautiful on the page.
Here is another way of looking at it. My creative work is often penned as quickly as I can, without stopping to analyze or critique. I believe I rely much more on my subconscious mind which picks up all those sensory details my intuition ignores. I sometimes recover memories this way. It's a bit like dreaming or being under hypnosis.
