Here’s an interesting interview with Ray Bradbury. Plenty of great soundbites in this, but specifically, start at minute 11. I love what he says about not thinking when you’re at the typewriter.
“I’ve had a sign over my typewriter for 25 years now which reads “Don’t think.” You must never think at the typewriter, you must feel.”
Conversation points:
Do you struggle “thinking too much” when you’re writing your early drafts?
What helps you get out of your rational brain and into creativity?
Stephen King says that writing is a form of self-hypnosis. What are your thoughts on that?
