Brain Power by Wendy H. Jones


Apologies for the late writing of this post but I've come down with the bug that is affecting many in the UK at the moment. My brain is functioning at half power. Or is it?

My body is telling me to rest and rest I must, as I can barely see to read due to the added complication of conjunctivitis. This leaves me with the audio book option, or merely resting my eyes and my brain. However, my brain has different ideas. It's feeling bright and breezy and is coming up with ideas right left and centre. Now, it's a tad tricky to write things down when you can't see but, here's the great part, modern technology allows me to record voice memos, either on my phone or with a digital voice recorder. I'm fortunate to have a DVR, so the odd thoughts that fire through my brain can be recorded quickly.

The brain is a powerful organ. It is often during these times of enforced rest that ideas are formed, or that perfect line comes up. Don't lose them. Get them down by speaking them out loud. Allow your brain to guide you and, you never know, it might revolutionise your writing.

Now, if you will forgive me the brevity of my post, I'm off to rest my weary body and to let my brain take over.

  1. Very encouraging Wendy and I think you're right about the brain coming up with ideas when the body is at rest. The key is to record the ideas. I always have notebook and pen handy.
