Thoughts into Words
January 14, 2009
Writing involves transforming thoughts and images into words and I have found that this is pretty challenging to say the least. The biggest obstacle is recreating the experience, visions and ideas in a way that actually captures them. Even this post is turning out to be a little different than I had mapped out in my mind.
This makes me wonder how other writers’ stories and memoirs develop.
Do you see the story as it unfolds?
Is there a voice telling the tale?
Do you feel emotions along with your characters?
How are you able to manifest your stories into words?

Hello Everyone,
Tammi you had me hooked on your article with the title and I just loved your questions. Thank you so much for asking such great questions and giving me something to write about with Today’s Thoughts into Words!
Have a Great Day and Enjoy Life!
Interesting post Tammi. I don’t think you can ever translate what’s in your head onto the page. I guess I try different techniques all of the time but sometimes I just don’t get a strong enough image in my head to translate to the page, and I’m more looking for how it looks on the page as writing, not as a replication of something else, which in my opinion, isn’t as true to the story. If that makes sense.
