Is writing the same as thinking?

[cacian]

when to write becomes about
words turn south
the further down they found
they wish they could look up
so much to hook up
to a north east west
shook up!


so does one write in the same way one thinks?


what do you think?

[Oedipus]

I'm not entirely sure what it is you mean, cacian?

hoi Oedipus.
i mean
is writing the same process as thinking?
when we think we use a certain part of the brain/mind to figure out things.
we think because we need to act or complete something.
i was thinking could writing be equated to be the same as thinking.

Well, it's an interesting question. I was more wondering how the poem you wrote relates to it though? But I don't believe they are the same. Writing involves style: you intend to say something and to say it in a particular way. A metaphor is not chosen randomly; If you compare something to the sun you may wish to invoke warmth, etc. --But it seems to me that thoughts are more purely for utility. One can intentionally think in a way that sounds like how they write but it involves effort and is an act of creation. The creation of thoughts however is unconscious. And the thoughts themselves will not be beautiful or conscious of their connotations - you don't need to clarify to yourself after all. There are some thoughts on the matter anyway

Writing is an expression of thought, and it reflects how one thinks. There are certain pathways in the brain for thinking, and there is an established system for oral communication, but writing is different. For that reason thoughts that are to be written go through the left frontal lobe, which is usually involved in thinking, before the thoughts are sent to Broca's regions, which is also involved in speech; apparently it converts thoughts into neural signals for muscles. The the nerve inmpulses are sent to the hand and arms for actual writing.

Writing is not thought, but thought is intimately involved in writing, and that is not true for speech.

sorry for taking long to get back.

the poem was just a reflection on how one uses word to express a story.
the deeper the meaning the heavier the feeling the less room to roam and imagine better tones.

the question is probably better put this way:
does one write the same way one thinks in everyday situation?

here is a theory:

if by writing one supposes that reality changes then i think it is because we do not change the way we write but instead change the way we think when we write.
does that make sense?

I think I get it but to make sense of your new question it seems you must be aware of the types of thoughts you have throughout the day if you're having thoughts at all. Suppose I have more than one voice to write from. Despite style Or whatever I still want them to be distinctive from eachother. Sooo I do think its the same as thinking but I have to wonder if it depends on what you're writing. Just as an example certain styles could/are used to give speeches so your natural tone must be present depending on the given rules.
I like this question. It reminds me of my own when I wondered if reading were a form of meditation. Naturally, now it seems like its dependent upon the book. :|
