From Qwerty to quirky
Confessed to friend Bob last night over dinner that my typing was not good for my pottery.
In short, the habitual, differential strength of my finger pressure from being a (rather poor) typist, means that I butcher my pots when throwing on the wheel. When I accommodate to pottery, I then reverse all the letters when I resume typing.
Hmmm. What psychologists term negative transfer. But because it is part of the unverbalised and habitual features of my interactions with matter, it will take a while to become mobile and fluid in moving from domain to domain.
Bob had an elan: you'll move more readily from QWERTY to quirky.
He's a cool dude. Love it.
