Do you talk out loud while you write?

Do you talk out loud while you write?

 

[Lycana]

Sometimes I do, especially when I get new ideas, and I'm working them out, speaking out loud to do so.

 

[Akuma]

Only when its a really cool dialogue between my pro and ant. I love when they face off.

 

[G4M5Y5]

sometimes I do...depends how into thought I am.

 

[gennypearl]

i don't talk when i am writing because i get more concentration when i write in silence than talking.

 

[ConstanceB]

I do. Really. Here are some very well thought-out reasons:

1) learning remains with you if more than one sense is involved -- hence, for me, keyboarding (better than pen/pencil for me because I type fast) = tactile & visual, & talking = both oral (mouth) and auditory (hearing myself) senses. Consequently, I'm more focused.

2) I've done some public speaking, and sometimes you "practice" spilling things rapidly from your brain to your mouth to keep your brain moving.

3) If I talk what I'm writing, or read it aloud, I often discover that the sentence does not "read" well -- too long without breathing, for instance, which would eliminate it from school or book-club read-aloud use. I know then that I need to recraft to make it less awkward.

4) When I write humor, my mouth just "tries it out" and I start laughing. (It's a shame that others don't always find me as funny as I find myself.)

5) I shun silence. Besides, my dogs like to know what I'm thinking. cb

 

[GodFlute2]

yes, but you didn't hear it from me. Lol.

 

[mycatspice]

I do, yeah.

 

[mycatspice]

I do, yeah.

 

[nickybr38]

Only during very emotional scenes... I will find myself talking. It is most amusing to me, but it would be embarassing if anyone was around to hear. But my office is very private so no worries there.

 

[Lithium Hobo]

It helps with writing down the tone you want to convey in your writing.

 

[Storygirl394]

Almost always

 

[PuppyforChrist]

You might catch me doing that every now and then. But not all the time.

 

[Saruman]

not usually. Sometimes i do, if im having difficulty writing something down.

 

[Red-sunflower-kisses]

I helps me to work out my ideas

 

[Joey_Kid]

No... no not usually.

 

[DailyBlessings]

I don't usually talk while writing, but I always read aloud when I'm editing. Oh, and sometimes I'll find myself quoting my own work in casual conversation.

 

[Mrtis_God'sdisciple]

I do sometimes talk out loud while I am either writing out that scene or sometimes it is a way to help stay into the book.

 

[SnoopyDances]

Sometimes. It is more like a mumble, not distinguished. But yeah.

 

[akasmom]

yeah -when I write poetry I read it to see how the meter sounds
