Is it normal to struggle at writing because you think too much?

9 Comments

I go through a struggle while writing or typing things. It's like my brain never gives me moment to write anything down because it's already thinking about what I am going to write down in the next 3 seconds.

I have so many good thoughts, and I am only limited to a few because I already forgot what I was going to write down while I would be currently writing something else. (I hope I haven't mindf-cked you)

It sucks, I feel like I have so much potential. I just need something to keep me focused.

    I know exactly what you mean.
    Just write down as much as you can. Or write in shorthand, or with keywords, before carrying on with thinking and then developing the ideas later.

    this is common but it is not normal folks gave you great tips on how to control this and what's most important; you are aware of this weakness and if you practice some of these tips, you could turn it into a strength!

    My fantasies about what I want to write outstrip the actual writing i'm doing, sad state of affairs . . .

    Prewriting is very useful. Just get something on paper (or your computer). Then work a sentence at a time. With this approach attention deficit won't be much of an issue.

    Story of my life. For me it's an OCD thing, I'll write and erase write and erase, it really gets old. I've retyped this message at least twelve times now

    Get a little recorder, push the button and say, "note to self..."

      That would be great, but I can't use that on the SAT. Maybe Marijuana will help, I looked at the news and the FBI are hiring some pot-smoking hackers because they are supposedly more focused. Lol (kidding about using Marijuana)

        No, but you could use it to help you study.
