Do you ever think about how your mind works, /lit? How you seem to associate words and feelings and senses, how you try to form sentences out of sounds and symbols?
I have this thing where I tend to rely more on the sounds and general "colours" of words (instead of the direct word-definition relationship) when it comes to writing. Since I consider myself relatively well-read, I imagine most of the phrases I put together are just subconscious liftings from previous texts, but there's also the element of intuition in my writing. When I'm trying to craft a sentence, it's like I can feel, almost hear the words falling into place, but I just don't have them at hand yet. What about you guys?
