 Posted: Wed May 04, 2005 12:17 am Post subject: Freewriting |
 |
|
| I did some free writing last night and have all of this illegible writing. The little I can understand is kinda scary. It is like I had all of these feelings bottled up inside and they just poured out. The stuff in there is pretty freaky. I was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences and has insight onto what it means... |

| Yep. All the time. I'll begin writing and so much will just pour out of me, almost faster than I can type. Then, I'll go back and read it and find that I was getting out hurts and emotions I didn't even know I had bottled up- and now literally either. Most of its allegorical. Very weird. |

happens to me too, when i am doing a project on a computer.... i type my feelings shrink them.... flip em up side down.... put it in a box and read it at least one more time then it takes a visit to the trash can..... i can easily relate to that .. it is sometimes freaky what i write.... 
a poem that expresses that was by hekategirl, i think in dramatic poetry, called i think "hahahaha(rated r for language)"... that shows one of those feeling let outs... go check it out.. |

| Yeah, that happens, but that's sort of what's supposed to happen in free writes. All of your ideas are supposed to go down without thought. You can't stop writing until you're done. (One good thing that Ms. Sisson has tought me. DQ knows what I'm talkin' about.) |

| Me too. I can go from, like, Satanic thoughts to a five page thesis on plastic bags. |

What really scares me is that all of my freewrites have made references to my depression. I just learned today how serious it was getting, and I didn't even realize it was creeping up on me again..
Maybe I'll do a freewrite. It'll be more productive than what I did at lunch, at least.. |

I do a different type of free writing.
It's helpful for poetry..
What you do is think of a subject or word.. anything.
You set a time limit and write down everything that comes to mind or everything you know about that particular subject within the time limit.
The trick is, you cannot stop writing.
You have to keep writing everything that comes to mind, and if you can't think of anything at that moment, you have to write something along the lines of "I don't know what to write." or "I'm not sure." or something.
Then as soon as you think of another thing to write, write that down too.
I usually go 5 minutes for anything unless it's a hard subject in which i'll need more thoughts and material. |

How do you do free writing?
Everyone is saying the results are depressing or scary or evil. |

| It's called automatic writing, and it's something I haven't done in a while. I really enjoy it as a writing exercise. |
