I thought this was a really interesting article, was thinking you all would think so too. Anybody else see this?

Not just when the author talks about what parts of the brain are used when writing, but I particularly thought it cool that experienced writers use a different part of the brain- as if they are hearing the words in their mind instead of watching a movie. Makes total sense, I see my stories through words, carefully picking adjectives and such during the planning process. I'd love see/read more about the parts of the brain used when someone is doing other forms of art...
ps- if my brain is being given the same workout as an athlete is while I write, can this count as a daily workout ;) If only it worked that way...
