Brain Things
Challenge: Share some of your brainstorming notes. Describe your brain. Prompt: The human mind is a fascinating meat-blob of atoms and electricity. I continue to be awestruck by the mind-boggling <-----(punny)-- differences between my brain and everyone else's. Tell me how your brain works. Describe your thoughts, thought-process, inner monologue, the little voice inside your head, conscience, misfiring synapses, ect.. What do you "see" in your mind? Do you visualize your thoughts like movies, sounds, words, numbers? How does one thought lead to the next, and how did you even imagine your first thought? Share some of the notes you've taken for your creative projects. Give us a glimpse of your brainstorming moments. Format: This challenge is very patched together, so anything goes. Interpret and post at will. Tag me :) My Brain Explosion Example Post: https://theprose.com/post/741466/lost-sea

This is Too Intense

There are three things you need to know before you read this.

1. I am a constant worrier

2. I always try to think of new stories to write

3. My inner voice is my best friend and worst enemy at the same time

Whenever I invision my brain, I can't get a clear picture of it. I can picture what a brain looks like, but pinning down the inside of mine is a struggle. I'm bouncing around between thoughts. Between praises and insults. One minute, I'll be working on a WIP, and the next, I'll start a whole new project because an idea hurled itself around my mind.

I see my thoughts in a mix of pictures and words. Some of my thoughts work better in sentences like story ideas or names. Others are vivid scenes for a WIP or even something new.

But I can't seem to put my thoughts in categories to save for later. They're a jumbled mess, and I always get ideas at the wrong time. Too many instances, I get the perfect twist for my WIP when I'm listening in to my teacher in class and forget it by the time I got to write.

I can't keep my thoughts together when I'm in a panic. If I try to calm myself down, my inner voice is being negative or unreasonable. Too many emotions at one time jumble my thoughts even more and everything looks like a train wreck.

My brain is a factory with an efficient creating system but an inefficient organizing system.
