I was thinking how one's experience would vary from the actual events that are happening. This needs to be made clear in the upcoming book. The difference between the actual event and the experience of the event needs to be distinguished. Describing the actual events would include describing what happened in the event, the order of the events, the timing of the events, etc. The experience of an event would include what one personally took away from the event and what they felt. I need more clarity as to what the experience of the event includes. So far I think that one's thought process of the event, what one liked, disliked about the event would constitute the experience of the event. Coming from a technical background, I am still struggling with this distinction.
I feel NM's background or FOC's events are more fun than what I do. My daily work routine can only be so interesting. I just thought of another point the experience of the event could include. The experience of the event could include what affected the five different senses during the event. This would include the visual description, the sounds, the smell, the taste (if any food was consumed) and the sensation to the skin (if any texture was felt, etc. Also I could think of is the emotional effect the event had on you. So this is what I can sum up my understanding of an experience to be, they include the five senses and the emotional feeling from the experience. Also using words that show my personality could be included in the description. But how much personality can I show when I say I went to work again. I perhaps should leave out lot of the mundane details that go on my in life. But most of my day is filled with mundane details that I somehow need to make more interesting. I guess I could talk about what excited me today at work, if anything did really excite me. Or I could talk about the thought process in my head, about what could excite me in the future that I keep dwelling on many times.
your thought process is more important than the chronology.
