What weighs three pounds, has four hundred miles of blood vessels, and a hundred billion nerve cells or more? How could it have anything to do with writing?
Tell me! Know? Four hundred miles. . Four hundred miles of blood vessels! Get out of town. One hundred billion nerve cells. No way possible! There is no way that in this blue-green land suspended in darkness something like this could exist for writers. Could you really measure these things? Then. . .as? Is this top secret software?
Not only does he weigh three pounds, but he seems to constantly need oxygen, sugar, omega-3s, vitamins A and D, minerals like iodine, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and calcium. He loves protein and thrives on water. It will help you write better and create cash flow in your wallet.
Well, it can’t be a giant sperm whale, or a colossal polar bear, or a mammoth elephant. They weigh more than three pounds. It is definitely not some internationally endangered species of animal on the brink of extinction. What could this strange entity be that actually floats in a clear liquid and looks like a big, wet, shriveled mushroom to all writers?
At first glance, it appears to be a grotesque yet stunning mess for you to look at. But it’s amazing what it can do for your writing. In a tangled mess of creation, those billions of nerve cells exhibit an incredible supremacy far greater than Intel cells, hard drives, and motorized memory banks. So it’s obvious, right?
It’s a supercomputer!
No doubt about that. That is exactly what it is. Good? A computer. An always loving PC. Must be. The inventors did it. Mistaken. Computers do not float in liquids.
Well well. . .well, I am going to rip the black cloak of mystery off this nameless monster that is tearing at your mind with millions of questions. As slow as I can. . It’s your brain!
Can you believe it? Your brain! Your brain to write that book, article, novel you’ve been thinking about. That organ that you use 24/7 to understand the world and your research to be able to write. It is probably the most multifaceted and highly organized creation in the Universe, at least, on earth.
Give me a break you say.
I bet you thought it was an alien from outer space. Come on, admit it. At least for a while you thought he was an ET. Well, maybe for a few seconds, right? Why would an article on how to write include the anatomy of the human brain anyway? What could be so important about the brain for a writer who wants to make money?
ALL!
Your brain is your lifelong co-writer, super friend with a sensory system to beat all systems. Without it, your body would crumble and disappear in a dust storm and you wouldn’t be able to write. With it, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, talents, memories and the ability to order data, buzz and buzz like a hive of bees to improve your writing. Execute your body functions to the fullest continuously. The great news of the century is that you don’t have to turn it off or on like your computer. It just goes on and on and on. . . .
Talk about excelling at your writing!
However, can’t you compare your brain to a computer? Both systems offer rare opportunities to exceed your writing career goals and increase your bank account. For the rapid progress of his writing, the similarities between his brain and the composer are astounding! True typing speed is no longer a fantasy. I mean real speed typing. Just for starters, get a bunch of the following parallels. Both have electrical signals to transfer information. As they move forward year after year, they adapt to the new software. Although they are subject to damage, both need power to function. Both can do everyday math and common sense tasks. Researchers study them as links in the food web of wildlife. Surely, both may be in reprogramming modes.
As a result, you awe-inspiringly merge two entities into top-secret software to write that sounds to you like Carolina warblers in spring. Your brain and your computer become a united creature of creativity. A creature called the Brainputer! A Brainputer Quest. . .searching for words to express, describe, portray, represent and reveal each page of his writing.
In effect, you become a Brainputer!
Take care of your Brainputer!
Now go write that book!
