Part 1: would concentrate on a discussion of different brain states such as ALPHA, BETA, THETA, etc, and how readers enter an ALPHA brain state when confronted with particularly well-written and vivid passages. Then we would explore techniques writers may use to induce these kind of brain states in the readers by creating deep immersion narration in their writing. Part 2 (shorter part): would explore some tools writers can use for distraction-free writing to enter "the zone" faster. The benefits and pitfalls of these tools and some of the hardware tools out there. From laptop software to the Alphasmart Neo family of keyboards, to the smart typewriters such as the Freewrite and Hemingwrite.
