The Spontaneous Writer
My experience on beBee certainly changed me. I feel I have matured to understand the reasons why I write. I am kind of more matured now than any time before. When I have an idea that I enjoy I feel the spontaneity in writing it. I am doing this without being compelled to do so by any external force. I am releasing the energy of the thought to the world. I may have an idea that differs from others. A challenging idea that may cause some chaos. Great as my spontaneity of writing increases. I write because I enjoy it regardless of what the outside world would react.
I met recently with an old classmate in a social gathering. He was a gifted writer. Teachers loved his writings and encouraged him to grow his talent. I asked him why he doesn’t write anymore, he responded that he stopped writing to avoid its headaches. He went on to say that his love for writing was quenched because of chilly comments. But nothing can stop the flow of love for writing. It is like a waterfall of love running spontaneously. Was my classmate love for writing spontaneous? I doubt it.
Thinking deeper about why we write brings many issues to the surface. If I understand the reasons that propel me to write then I should be fully understanding of the reasons that readers write their feedback. The spontaneity of writing is not monopolized by me. The same right extends to the reader. To feel the spontaneity for writing a comment the reader must be emotionally provoked to the extent that he/she finds it unstoppable to do so. Emotions that increase disorder will have the tendency to be spontaneous. Disorder by opposing what the author suggests or advocates for will increase in proportion of the level of his/her disagreement. Here is the paradox. Some authors want to have feedback in comments and only supporting ones. This goes against the nature of spontaneity because agreeing is a state of more order and hence less spontaneity. Is it different from the spontaneity of an orderly crystal melting rather the other way round?
Fear freezes us. Like water freezing into ice its orderly state increases. Our spontaneity decreases as well. We notice this in life. Authors who stop writing for fear of criticism. Managers who run away from giving their subordinates feedback for fear of antagonizing them. Readers who don’t comment for fear if they do and offer different perspectives will be silenced. Fear is a freezing force that in order to put things in order then don’t act.
There is also the kind of spontaneity you find with strong and heated motivation. I received a message this morning from Sara Jacobovici filled with warmth. I felt the spontaneity of her writing. Her warm feeling heated up her feelings and evaporated them. Disorder increased accordingly. Here is another paradox. Warmth leading to more disorder and spontaneity of writing. But the spontaneous writing touched my heart. Sara’ spontaneity is epidemic. The minute I finished reading her friendly message I couldn’t stop writing this buzz in response.
When we are in state that Fatima G. Williams describes “I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently” then it is about time to ponder till you regain your spontaneous flow. Read Fatima’s great comment in full in this buzz by Sara Jacobovici
My advice is write with spontaneity and without fear. Write because you enjoy writing. Fear no feedback. Expect no feedback. Write because you are in the flow and don’t block the flow with feelings of fear of criticism, or lack of feedback.مقالات من Ali Anani

"The only way to cultivate responsible choice is to nourish the needs of your soul...". I couldn't agree more Franci\ud83d\udc1dEugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador. This what feedback is expected to do. It is sort of ideas colliding and the product of which could be unimagined sometimes.

Great and I enjoy the different styles with which we write Preston \ud83d\udc1d Vander Ven. However; is not this a type of spontaneous writing "When I realize that my comment is going to be to long, I usually add a tab. I "cut and paste" what I was going to say and create a post"?

Jung thought that conflict is the essence of Life and a prerequisite for all personal and spiritual growth. Absolutely concur with you Yolanda \u00c1vila M\u00e1rquez. No story with no conflict. Even we have sweet conflicts between two good choices. Conflict is essential. Solving it creatively gives spice to our lives.

y÷s. I agree as deadlines can be stressful. I believe that a spontaneous ideas needs a spontaneous drafting. Improvement can be made and adding meet to the skeleton may be done in one stage or more. However; lagging on making a spontaneous draft of an idea will lead to cooling effect. It might not be easy to warm up afterwards. The idea gets lost.

excellent comment Harvey Lloyd. Your comment is an eye-opener. Just reading this "Criticism is the fire that burns or is controlled" is spot on. I am quoting this in my next buzz. It fits so well. Yes, nobody has all the facts. One sure fact though is making criticims that is a source of safe fire is deligent. We can burn or illuminate a person with criticism. The borderline may be fuzzy, but is worth the effort. Thank you my friend for your great contribution.

I am so glad that you captured the essence of my comment and added your splendid explanation to it Cyndi wilkins. It is my turn now to add to yours. You wrote "That opens the inner door to the infinite". I love this. Like fractals are infinite and sheer beauty. This is the way to make our inner selves fractal and infinite. Fractals are joy and we need to do what we do in joy.

You strike a very important point here Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee in your response to this commenter...in that we need to find a way to be happy with the 'uncondition' of things in order for those very things to work favorably...The manifestation happens because of that joyful vibration you emitted while sharing your thoughts...That opens the inner door to the infinite;-)

You bring to our attention a hugely-important point dear Lisa Vanderburg. It i being efficient versus being effective. In complex systems they have the tendency to find a working (efficient) solution and move on. In simple systems effectiveness or both efficiency and effectiveness (efficacy) become important. It is just different requirements my friend. Currently, I am working on a buzz whose idea popped up while asleep. At dawn time I was recording it on my mobile phone so as not to forget it. It needs some searching. In no way I can produce it just on the spot. The framework is ready and documented; however the final product requires some work. So, as you see it depends on the situation we are in.

I salute your spirit dear Lada \ud83c\udfe1 Prkic. In one of my pdevious replies I mentioned the need of spontaneity in writing the first draft. Then editing follows. I woke up very early today to record my idea on my mobile that came to mind while asleep. It is my next buzz. Yes, like you wrote, it is a crude idea and needs refining. But the first spontaneous draft remains the foundation. You are an engineer. I may tell you then safely that the idea of this buzz is benefiting from my background in thermodynamics. Spontaneous reactions and spontaneous writing. The buzz is based on this initial thought. This time we are in 100% agreement.

Good day Paul Walters. It is very ear)y morning here. I need to go to bed again to complete around six hours sleep. However; I feel the urge to respond to your comment first. I know what you feel. We procrastinate. When the pressure builds up and time shrinks. I experienced the same. I wrote a presentstion Procrastination over Opportunities. This tendency sucks the joy of writing and increases our fear of missing the deadline. Worse, it gives the feeling that we don't like what we are doing. If not then why do it? I am sharing my experience with you as welll. I appreciate every word of yiour comment. Please hold the pen...

thank you dear Franci\ud83d\udc1dEugenia Hoffman, beBee Brand Ambassador. With all honesty I care to read your comments and observations. Sometimes we miss simple facts. We write because we enjoy writing. Like a mother enjoys delivering a baby. No matter what the world thinks of her baby, the mothers sees her/him beautiful and re-birth of her life. We need to enjoy delivering our baby buzzes with the same emtions a mother does. If we worry about what criticism we shall get or if our buzz would be overlooked we shall not write joyfully. Our baby will only suffer accordingly.

dear friend Lisa Vanderburg- honestly I wish all writers on beBee would read your rich and authentic comment. To my surprise this buzz has so far on LI more than 1250 views and some 14 comments. The surprising thing for me is not only the eloquence by which you wrote this comment, but also the similarity with two comments on LI. I don't need to say that you wrote a comment that moved my heart. Readers shall feel the same. What a great example of spontaneity in writing a comment. Thank you my friend.

your comments falls in my heart Cyndi wilkins. It so rich and mature that I am baffled how to respond. Just reading this part I feel I am the one who is writing it. I mesn this part "The idea came to you for good reason...so act on it in the moment in order to get the best results...". So real and so reflective of whst I wanted to say. I feel I am reading myself while reafing your comment.

Do I agree on this part of your lovely comment dear Tausif Mundrawala "People crave for stories which invokes emotions in them because however hard we may try to be a stone-hearted person we are finally human beings"? If I say no I shall be contradicting myself. Surely yes is my answer. People shall not act with spontaneity unless they are aroused. Action follows. You are a wise man.

As an established author and poet in particular you know what you talk about dear Debasish Majumder. When you write poetry I know you are in the flow. I have noticed that you turned the main ideas of some of my buzzes into great poems on same day I published my buzz. You then experienced that your most satisfying poems to you was the ones you wrote with spontaneity. I appreciate your kind words and the sharing of the buzz.
