'Humans have an innate desire to create meaning in symbolic form, whether through an artistic medium or speech... Writing is thus a defining feature of human cognition,' explains LarrySamuel
Research in cognitive psychology has shown that creative acts such as writing are a staple of the human experience.For some, the effort to make meaning out of symbols can resemble compulsive behavior.
I recognize there are far worse things to be compelled to do, but I cannot help but wonder what my daily craving to write is all about. Ronald T. Kellogg, at the time a cognitive psychologist at the University of Missouri-Rolla, provided the answer. His 1994 bookshowed that humans have an innate desire to create meaning in symbolic form, whether through an artistic medium or speech.
I can easily relate to such neurological decoding of the deep desire to translate vague concepts rattling around my brain into a nicely organized text package, complete with an attractive cover. I’ve more than achieved my initial goal to create a body of work that will be around after I am gone. When not writing a book, I’ve dashed off hundreds of articles or blog posts like this one, ensuring that I’ve strung millions of words together in a more or less coherent fashion over the years.
