Compare Left Brain and Right Brain Writing
Know How to Switch Between These Writing Styles

As you approach a topic, you want to write about, decide on how you want to present the data. That will give you a clue as to which side of the brain you want to use to complete the task you have at hand. Using the wrong side is like using a hammer when you need a screwdriver. The job is much harder to do with the wrong tool, and occasionally it might not be able to be completed until you change methods.
For example, if you are spending a lot of time writing and tweaking what you wrote, you may be trying to use the left brain, which is quite tricky to do when you are trying to write stories. It sets up your inner critic and analytical functions of the left brain, and you will write, erase, write, tweak, and on it goes with feeling like you are being contained when you are trying to get those words to flow so you can finish your story writing project. This type of writing is suitable for technical data, statistics, any documentation you might need to cover and topics that require your analytical ability to write and review the material.
I am suggesting that you try a different approach when you are telling stories. Spontaneous writing comes from the right brain-what I call your inner author. It flows, is easy to do, is fun, and full of good content. You will have your writing project completed quickly, and the readers will enjoy what you have written about the topic.
These ideas are quick thoughts that you will need to capture as they pop into your mind, and you become aware of them. Carry a notebook so you can jot them down as you think of them. Later you can go back and add more to the topic. Your key is to capture the insight you received in the thought.
You will notice a difference in writing with the left brain and writing with the right brain. Choose which side to use by the content you are trying to write so it will be easier for you to do.
