The more I speak, the less I write.
I dey ment? I be writer nau!
Certain occurrences are forming facts, material if I must add, and equally worrying, that the more I spoke, the less I wrote. Now, giving names to the “culprits”, my PODCAST, and my WRITING. How on earth is this so? I do not know, but I have found myself sacrificing more for one than the other; whichever pitched an idea first.
Well, this is exactly what I mean;
After evaluating my content creation, I realized that it is either I lack content or my desire for one of the arts stated above diminishes when the other is fueled up. Why can’t I do both at the same time?
Or,
do both arts involve the articulation of thoughts hence, since it is one mind, both processes have to take place one after the other. But, doesn’t this make my mind exhausted from one process of creation? I have also realized that when I’m a writer, the chatterbox becomes my pen and my mouth can certainly not beat that. Also, when I’m speaking, especially during the podcast, it gets complicated- my eyes become the sheet on which my mind writes and my mouth vocalizes what my brain gathers while it begins to articulate if it had relayed the right words spoken by my mind.
Talking or writing, “virtue” is going out of me, and it’s satisfying provided the result would be a magnificent creation. When I’m not talking, I listen intently to grasp words or stories, keeping them in depths I know my pen will be hungry for. For me, writing comes quicker. It’s true when I say my pen is more of an orator than my mouth. But there are instances where speaking was a better relief. So, even in a bid to want to write, the energy is sapped, and writing at that moment holds no zest.
Usually, thoughts are chaotic, especially when you are searching for an idea. The more creative work I’m exposed to, the more unsettling the thoughts become. I have come to realize in this writing journey of mine that creative work gives direction to my chaotic thoughts/ideas, more like connectivity to all I had perused about. So, if you run a podcast and write, in this case, the direction will further show you what medium you would use.
