Somebody once tried to take one of my pens
I wouldnt let her because my entire life spawned from it's ink
I love red pens
they're normally used for grammatical corrections but I let my stories flow through them
I used a green pen when writing in the forest
Color schemes are important
My black pen is my safety net
Predictable and reliable
There's always a pen nearby
Pens are more important than paper
what came first though
rocks were the original pens
carving murals onto cave walls
keyboards are the new pens
typing away
there's something special about transmitting your thoughts from your brain
through your arm
into your fingers
controlling a pen
it's an euphoric experience
i know i've got something good when my hand starts to cramp as i write
sometimes my thoughts fly faster than i can write
pens > pencils
it's just that simple
i love the idea of permanence
i'm drawing a blank
my inkwell is running dry
i still have another minute on my timer and I'm not sure what to write
stop thinking
just flow
i cant type fast enough
i cant think slow enough
its happening again
the dryness
the blankness
this page
i cant even look anymore
just at my fingers furiously typing away
rambling
nonsense
who is even reading this anyways
does anybody really care?
who cares?
i do
that's all that really matters
i do this for me
i dont care about what anybody else thinks
that's a lie i tell myself
and others
but really i just want to be loved
dont we all
want to be loved
or at least liked
maybe appreciated
whats the topic again?
stupid question
i always go off track

What if memories aren't stored only in the brain? What if when we write with our hand we are accessing memories that are actually stored in the muscles as well as the brain? Just something to ponder...

I love this concept! I find that when I physically write in a journal different thoughts/ideas come to mind compared to when I'm typing or just speaking

We're all off in our heads. The topic doesn't matter to me once I start, I'm just following the previous thought. It's like meditation, sometimes, these freewrites.

agreed...I try to just flow and not think too much about what I'm writing, but that's definitely easier said than done

Would you mind sharing how you centered your writing? I tried before and it was a mess! Lol
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

sure! before the text you want centered put the word "center" inside of <>, for example, it'll look like this (im only adding a ',' inside the bracket so it will display <,center>... at the end of the text you want centered put </center,> (again remove the comma so only the word "center" is inside of the <>...I hope this helps!
