White Noise: Are You Lost In Word Static?
There are two definitions of the word ‘static’. The first is when used as an adjective wherein your usage is in reference to no motion or being fixed or stationary. The second is when used as a noun. It would be when it is unwanted noise, background interference and perhaps criticism and or anger. The second is the one we are discussing here. If you were attempting to create a poem or perhaps write a story, ‘static’ would be a serious obstruction to your thought process. It may even prevent the ‘creative juices’ to flow enough as to block you from accomplishing your goal.
This happens to creative personalities much more often than many people think. Once you have been taken off track with your endeavor of creative writing, sometimes it takes a lot to get back to a productive state of mind. The ‘static’ can actually derail a normally creative person for a long time if they cannot get the problem fixed shortly. This is why many authors will squirrel themselves away when attempting a project so they won’t have any ‘static’ interference to slow them down. They do not want anything to prevent the creative thought processes from flowing freely.
