Writing Invokes Creative Freedom?

To many writers out there, the fact that writing encourages a type of written freedom is almost refreshing. It provides a proverbial breath in each day. It's so well known in feeling-that writers simply can't live without jotting something down each day. But why is that?

Is it because writers find a medium to express their frustrations and desires? Or is it because it's a plane of existence to us, a place to free our minds? Perhaps some writers view it as a way to acquire inner knowledge about themselves, a zone of conference and coming together for their conscious and subconscious feelings.

Whatever the case may be, it's safe to say there are a number of reasons filed under something known as creative freedom. Creative freedom is a term that is used library in a post conservative environment. What I mean is simple. Books like Fifty Shades of Gray challenge the old censorship of the past. Heck, think of The Catcher and the Rye, a book about teen frustration with a loose sense of exile from society. It was so different and freeing through a certain kind of truth that we were not used to being liberal about. Books like this are of a different freedom it feels like, as if they challenge what's okay and what is not okay to write about. What is comfortable for us to discuss and what isn't? It's very important question.

Creative Freedom isn't just about expressing one's self but to create something wholly new. Though it may present a similar theme or characters as previous works by other authors, it must contrive of the new author's thoughts and message. The thoughts and messages that the author creates are critical to each piece, each work. Without these concepts most books would be stale and fall flat of being desirable by any audience and reader. Having thoughts that challenge the reader to think and truly feel inward instead of outward is a true from of creative freedom.

See, forcing an audience to instead look inside themselves for the answer can be freeing. The reader is therefore taken on an emotional ride of self worth and similarity to that of the character. It makes the bond deeper and valuable. Without that freedom of character there would be know connection to cling to. Then, when that connection is taken from the character by death or exile it forces new emotions and thought, things that challenge the reader to express their own thoughts and feeling.

Creative Freedom has many uses and functions. Primarily, it projects that with which we see with our eyes, understand with our minds, and feel in our hearts.

Keeping a Journal

During your lifetime of writing it becomes increasingly difficult to keep all of your ideas organized. Trust me, it does. You, as a writer, may have a good memory now and great focus but as soon as you start a job or writing professionally you'll soon find yourself going from one project to another can be rather difficult for the creative part of the brain to handle. That focus and great memory that so many writer boast of all the time begins to become stressed and busy. It happens to everyone.

See, the writing you do as a professional needs to be seamless and clear for each individual project that you take on. However, the stories that you want to write on your own time can become burdensome without some place to store the thoughts and ideas while you're busy with other things that life throws your way. Get used to jotting down ideas about plot, character, places, objects, and lore. This helps the writer find a way to process what's taking shape progressively and at their own pace. Doing this gives the writer a sense of ease. It allows the mind to think freely and without worry of losing context or ideas. In the literature world losing such things as context and ideas can be a critical failure.

If you are a writer give it a try. Start a journal. Life is not going to slow down and it helps to have a system. Think of it as a file system. If you come across something for a book you want to write, such as a plot heavy idea, write it down in a journal. Get in the habit of doing it. Make it a necessity. I stress my point because I know what it is like to lose a groundbreaking idea for something that is in the process of being written. It is maddening to know that the idea you had may never come back.

Honestly, it will save you time and stress. The less you have to keep mulling over a concept and trying to fixate on that one thing as not to forget it, the better for your brain. The brain itself is a muscle. As you know all muscles get worn out and strained. Muscles need breaks. So do your brain a favor and give it a break. Write those ideas down and record them for later use.
