It depends on the person casting them. A lot of people feel like forgetting them give the best result, but I know some that don't.

Try both and see what works for you.

I think it's important to remember that the sigils in chaos magic are closer to spells then to talismans. They are meant to be cast/thrown.

It definitely will depend highly on the individual, so practice different techniques. But in the end sigils are psychodrama, there is not right way to do it. Really if a sigil doesn't have an immediate effect it is unlikely to work or will simply work by coincidence and get associate with the sigil, which will actually harm your magic in the end rather than help.

That is a highly personal opinion.

If that was true you'd defend it with argumentation and evidence.

Okay.
Peter j Carroll, Phil Hine, Austin Osman Spare, Frater U.D and Jason Miller does not talk about sigils as being psychodrama. The only person I know of that mentions magic as psychodrama is LaVey.
