Creative Writing is similar to professional athletics.
Martin Lotze, a German researcher, studied the brains of both professional athletes and professional writers and discovered that their brain activity during athletic competition and the writing process was very similar. Lotze discovered an interesting difference between professional and amateur writers: professional writers used their speech-processing centres of the brain to develop their stories, whereas amateur writers relied on their vision centres to imagine the story first.
