That sort of thing will make you nuts. I always have a bit of a mess when I shift gears from one mode of working to the other.

On the other hand, it’s very nice to have confirmation that both halves of your brain are in there working for you.

I know I’m commenting years after this post, but I just have to!

I was searching hollylisle.com for info on left-brain/right-brain and this was the first hit Google came up with. This is exactly what happened to me just now! I did some clustering (right-brain), got so excited that I sat down and drafted a few hundred words (more right brain) — and then when I had to send an email to a colleague at work (when the left-brain should have put down the margarita and come back to help out), it was a mess of spelling and bad grammar! It was really embarassing!

A big pain. I hate having my writing flow interupted by the spelling and style voices in my head.

One of the things I hear often as I type away is this: “You have started 3 out of the last 5 paragraphs with the main character’s name.”

Isn’t it a pain?

I feel your pain. I have a right brain, left brain battle over certain words. Every time I type “their”, my left brain intervenes and puts a halt to the flow of the writing. My left brain has to make sure my right brain has the right “there/their”.
