I feel like I lost whatever was left of my writing mojo. Now I can't articulate my thoughts in a fluid way; it seems like every thought process becomes hindered by objectivity and I end up simplifying my sentences almost like a math equation. Even if I want to go into great detail and expand on a topic with as much imagery and sensory detail, I feel an inclination to shorten it, due to being in that "math" mindset. As a result, I don't have my own writing voice anymore. I feel like I don't have that same flow and rhythm in my writing that made me sound personable. Writing just seems like a chore now. Anybody else experience a similar phenomena?

Perhaps this may only apply to me, but I'm starting to think maybe the relationship with being good at Math and creative writing are inversely related. Show me a Mathematician that can write like Mark Twain, and I'll die of cognitive dissonance.

No. What kind of weird question is this?

My writing as a 4 year old sucked. Then as I started to learn math it got better. I don't think it's a coincidence.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Wouldn't you agree that someone "creative" would expand and say more than just "no" for an answer? The fact that people here are just posting one worded replies just reinforces my original point.

I can have difficulty switching between "math brain", "write brain" and "social brain", if anyone understands what I mean.
