Most of the time, forcing myself to write or speak an idea aloud actually makes my mind work better. When I'm sitting someplace, quietly "thinking", odds are it is just daydreaming. :o
I don't know if anyone else has had this experience or not, but when I think deeply about words or phrases themselves, I get images of movements or actions in my head. They aren't always associated with the word. For example, when I have the word "time" really focused, I get the abstract image of a pendulum. But when I think of the phrase "completing the square" (an algebra technique) I picture a guy sitting on a farm tractor seat, bouncing in a semi-circular path.
How's that for weird? That doesn't happen every time I think of a word, only when I'm really lost in pondering the semantics and sound of it.
Cheers,
Bryan

You are only wretched and unworthy if you choose to be.
