Kinda sounds like a porn film, doesn't it?Sorry to disappoint, but this is more to do with a disconnect between my fingers and my brain than dodgy photos! With increasing frequency, my fingers type words completely different to what my brain tells them. I have no idea how this happens -- they just seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to the keyboard!
I could understand if I was listening to music and I ended up typing the words filtering through my brain... but I write in silence. So where on earth are these random words coming from? The very depths of my creativity-deprived digits?
Is it just me? Are my fingers possessed? And if so, is there a mani-cure? (Ha! Sorry, couldn't resist.)
LOL "mani-cure" -- YOU'RE SO FUNNY!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteI have that problem from time to time. Its very much like my hand just takes over when a pen is in it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to say, Talli, that your fingers are definitely possessed. *shakes head sadly*
ReplyDelete(Mine too, apparently. I've been giving the ghosts tea in the hope that they will relent.)
I have that problem too, Talli. It's worst when there's a similar word I type a lot.
ReplyDeleteFor example, I worked for six months in a University School of Geography, so typed those words a lot.
Whenever I referred to my friend Georgina in an email, it came out Geogrina. It still does. Quite a nice name, no?
Manicure... Heheh. : j
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's a sign that you're ready to try your hand (and fingers too) at automatic writing?
maybe your subconscious mind has such pressing information to communicate with you that it is bypassing your consciousness and taking control... Maybe if you let it write on its own it would tell you the chilling tale of the murder of the man with the drill... and of course the culprit would be-
Lol. I have that problem all the time too. heehee.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's funny. I sometimes think my fingers are dyslexic. They type the words backwards or I will type the words I'm thinking before the ones I've just thought. Or, I'll make new words with two words.
ReplyDeleteCD
You need to get out a bit more, dear Talli. Or have a cup of tea. Or put down that bottle of Pimms. And stop watching those bin-rummaging people and look at the pretty birdies instead...!
ReplyDelete:-)
But seriously!! I think your brain is just too full of yummy ideas your fingers just can't keep up!!
Take care
x
You are a very funny lady.
ReplyDeleteBut perhaps your work is trying to tell you something. Step back a bit and take a look.
What kind of words?! Sounds like possession! Be sure to put gloves on when you go out, who knows what they'll do next! Think you may be on track for a stephen king novel!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one with runaway fingers.
ReplyDeleteOr... like Old Kitty said... maybe I do need to get more. Probably!
AlphaChick - I quite like the name Geogrina! I might use it in a novel. :)
I know what you mean!!! Sometimes it's a really good thing, though. I like being taken by surprise with my story! If I'm surprised then hopefully my readers will be, too. :)
ReplyDeleteYep, that must be it: your fingers are possessed. You really must get those things checked out, before it spreads to the rest of your body.
ReplyDeleteI have this problem. Sometimes I write words that look like they belong in a fantasy novel. Like EHU BE.
ReplyDeletemuscle memory, possession...it's all the same, right? Mani-cure was great, by the way!
ReplyDeleteMani-cure! :) Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers do strange things on the keyboard too!
I think all writers have slightly possessed fingers. It would explain a lot anyway.
ReplyDeletei also have this problem occasionally. They're not even useful words
ReplyDeleteI do that sometimes too. You're not possessed, just...a writer...
ReplyDeleteYou have Diginowritesitis, as an ex nurse believe me when I say, it is incurable. ;0
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear I'm not alone. Not so happy that it's not curable! Thanks, all, for your comments!
ReplyDeleteAn unruly imagination!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you're so creatively fired-up that you can't type the words down fast enough.
ReplyDeleteBut perhaps you ought to open up a separate document one day and just let your fingers tell the story. It might be interesting to see what they, and your subconscious, come up with!
Ahahaha!
ReplyDeleteUhm, mine do that too. I sort of assumed that we were all doing this. Is this not the way? 0.o
It's weird, isn't it? I look back over parts and really don't remember thinking that I should type that.
Mani-cure LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo what are your fingers trying to say? Maybe you're channelling!
Ah deont unerstand this problem, never having goldfish funicular myself. Maybe I haev too much intelligence too maek such plantations.
ReplyDeletethe worst is when I try to finish my sentence while falling asleep. when I open back up my word doc. it's like what???
ReplyDeleteI have that problem all the time. It's so jarring to be reading what you're typing and have it be completely different from what you intended.
ReplyDeleteLove the mani-cure line, btw :)
LOL! You are too funny.
ReplyDeleteMy problem, the words float into the foggy place in my brain. I can just about see them, but can't reach them. Fingers get very confused.
Typing I am not so bad with - it's actual writing I am awful - start joining wrong words together. Think it is because my hand gets tired and just sort of keels over on the page. Mani-cure... heehee. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
ReplyDeleteI find that my fingers can't keep up with what I'm thinking and it gets all screwed up. That's really something because I can type very fast...
Hmmm, my fingers like to omit letters or words when I type emails. ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not alone! My fingers rebel and write their own language quite often. :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes Word thinks you meant a specific word and automatically changes it. When I come across them later, I'm like WHAT?
ReplyDeleteSorry - no mani-cure!
I do this all the time too! I'm just happy you're brain and fingers were cooperating when you typed out the "mani-cure." LOL. So funny!!
ReplyDeleteHaha mani cure!
ReplyDeleteFingers just have a mind of their own I think, especially writer's doolally digits.
Just lately I'm forever writing 'alwasy' instead of 'always'. Perhaps the fingers on each hand are racing eachother, the right one is winning. Typical.
*snicker* I wish I was so coherent when I disconnected.
ReplyDeleteTalli,
ReplyDeleteIt happens to all of us because we think faster than we type.
Mani-cure! :) Good pun!
Porn film...lol!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, is that like the "pips" or whatever they call that in golf? those involuntary twitches?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a sign that you need to be directly wired into your laptop instead!
Oh, I do this all the time. Sometimes I think my brain is trying to tell me something!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I spell my name Catherien (for some odd reason) when I'm sending out important emails at work... Thankfully, I always catch it before hitting send. Don't want to be known as the girl who can't spell her own name. Definitely need a mani-cure! ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a case of possession to me.
ReplyDeleteHappens to me all the time. They also make up words. I can't tell you how many times a day I fight with spell check. :)
ReplyDeleteCool! Maybe you should try a stream-of-consciousness exercise, and let your Muse say what she really wants to say :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's the same thing, but every time I'm typing "your," my fingers type "you're." Every.Time.
Weird.
Sounds pretty cool actually. I kind of wish that would happen to me. It would probabaly better than what my brain was saying.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my fingers have that problem too. They just won't type the words the way they actually should be typed - though usually this happens when someone is talking to me while I'm trying to type.
ReplyDeleteHaha.. it has happened to me before and it must come from your sub-conscious mind :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Your posts are so funny! I think your fingers are possessed, and are probably trying to send you a message. Type away and see what happens!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers actually do that sometimes too. And I think it's so strange that they'll type actual words, not just random letters. I think it's just muscle memory from typing those phantom words over and over in the past.
ReplyDeleteHaha I love puns! Maybe your fingers want a career of their own ;)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Zelvin had a great post about this affiction at Poe's Deadly Daughters
