Does your pen have better ideas than your brain?

Totally. Sometimes an idea starts to form in my mind, and then I get a notebook out and start expanding on it, and suddenly it's way more then I could think of.
Huh. This is a good question. I don't really know. I feel like I have to think really hard when I'm writing. I'm not sure if my pen ever writes by itself like that. But yeah, I agree that you can start off with one idea and it will completely change. Or sometimes something seems like a really good idea in my head, then I write it down and it seems really dumb, and I'm like, "Why did I even THINK that this was a good idea?" lol. :)



I just hit a completely unexpected twist in my story. I was writing, and it just happened! If you guy's want to know what I mean, it's in Roses for June in chapter 5.

btw... ephona, i totally agree w/you! when i first think up an idea for a story, it starts playing like a movie trailer in my head. lol. :D
I luv movie trailers. . . totally off topic but i luv the new twilight trailer. I can watch it all day if i have no television.
But yes my pen sometimes does have more ideas than i do.

yeah, my pen is amazing, its like a mini eisenstein, haha. but of course, i have to be holding the pen, so it cant have ALL the credit....haha.
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT!!!
ya, i wish my pen would tell me it's many secrets. I need new ideas.

this is really weird...but last night i had a dream of my nanowrimo story, and i was seeing a movie trailor of it!! it was REALLY cool!! and all these little details were accurate, like the shade of the main character's hair or the words on the paper he was writing!! it was freaky!! XD
i always forget mine, like, the second i wake up. some of them i only vaguely remember the basic idea...:(

wait what?? to who?? 0.0
i've had scary dreams of kidnappings before...but thankfully, they've never come true...0.0

u should write a story about that! And what you would do if u actually knew the person! I have tons of dreams, and i hardly ever remember them, but if I do, I have a feeling they're important, so I write them down in a dream journal I have, just in case I need new story ideas, like now.

I really should have a dream journal..because I have strange dreams that I forget a few minutes after I wake up...hmm.
Uhh, talk about strange dreams:
Last night I was being chased by an evil, giant (size of a large bunny) hampster! I don't know what it was going to do to me, but it was enough to scare me enough to wake me up sometime after 5am.
See, I knew it was evil because it died and then it came back to life.
But the setting of the dream was cool. I was outside a house that was mine (but not in real life) and it was amazing!
I also had a dream that I had to go home and change because I was supposed to wear something somewhat nice (like khaki and blouse nice) but I was wearing sweats because that was the only thing that was clean in my laundry basket.

Also: We need people for our Rentheads discussions! We're trying to bring in 25 people before July 25th. Come join us! If anyone decides to come, tell who recruited you. It's a bit of a contest as well. Whoever brings in the most becomes a moderator. The group is Rentheads.
Usually my brain and my pen are enemies, so I'll never find out which is better i guess. *sigh*. Either my brain refuses to work with my pen, or my pen refuses to listen to my brain. Both I'm afraid won't listen to their therapists, and will probably never get along. :)
I believe I was just thinking the same. They are enemeies!
