Write and Learn

What is the best way to write to teach myself?

Write in question form, sort of a student-guru relationship. Play both roles. The student will ask and the guru or mentor will answer.

Formulating the perfect problem is solving the problem half done. This is one of the best to learn.

How will I write a dream?

That's a good question, dreams are one of the things that can't be recorded directly by media which I could only write in paper or in a medium.

So how do i write a dream, I write a dream as soon as I wake up, while the memory is as fresh as a cake, but it's not guaranteed that what I recall is the dream, no it's what I think I remember what the dream is all about, there maybe some fillers here and there to fill the gap between the fragments of the dream, it's more of sketching a rough draft of a person whom I met for the first time.

Is there any principles to keep in mind?

Yeah maybe I could personify strange definitions or strange information, mold it up into a character and make it live!

The Geeks have done this, no, the Vedic sages have done this, personifying the cosmic phenomena into gods and goddess, into epics, the Mahabharata, the Bhagawat Gita, the Panchatantra, all are excellent way to draw image to a reader's mind because there are situations, events, things, that are relatable to him, stuff that he had experienced.

Okay so that is one thing, connection. The Post Modern Jukebox or PMJ is a rotating band singing contemporary songs like how that sang in the 19's which genre would be country, folk, rock, jazz, gospel, blues, bluegrass, disco, James Bond theme, 8-bit Atari game sounds. The mastermind, Scott Bradlee, is the music converter and he hire and arrange the musicians accordingly. The whole music video was recorded with only one camera nothing else and the audience would see not only the singer but what's happening behind her, the instrument holders. It's a filial experience as if I'm also in that same room live watching them. Nostalgia. Nothing short of a genius.

So going back is there anything else I want to say on writing to learn?

Write in active sentences and not on passive ones. Engage with the reader. Laugh. Cry.

Tell a story. Once upon a golden popcorn... they are hooked. Fabricate a song that will touch the reader's perception, an idea that would challenge his belief, a situation more like his story written after him, then place a plot twist, toy with the emotion, guide the reader to places they want but scared of going. Maybe the unpleasant memories and experience, maybe his fears, maybe his secrets, I never knew.
