You are a source of creativity
Simply the act of writing generates ideas, emotions, thoughts, feelings and images that tug at your heart and awaken your vision. Although you may not know why you need to write, or what your thoughts will turn into, it is the act of writing that is important.
In the draft stage of story or article development, free writing is welcome, even necessary. At this stage, you need to see what you are willing to go out with.
The power of this kind of fast and loose writing is that it generates a positive YES in your mind and soul.
Name the unnamable
Free writing says YES to your subconscious, and YES to naming what was previously unnamable, mainly your feelings and mental images. In this way, you can identify, examine, share and release.
Knowledge is power. The power is in the writing. By writing down his fears, hopes, and dreams, he pulls them out of his subconscious where they can influence him into the light, where he can control them.
the well overflows
Freewriting says YES to your infinite source of creativity because by writing a line, a word, a sentence or pages, you are telling your subconscious to send you MORE. The more you allow your creative ideas to flow, the more they will flow in your mind.
free up brain space
Contrary to the lingering worry that you’re wasting time, your freedom in the speed-typing stage actually releases the static of worry. Because you’re clearing out the debris in the closet of your mind, you’re better able to listen to your intuition and creative mind whenever they come up.
Free up brain space for writing by first spending at least twenty minutes freewriting before diving into your project. This works well when you have an hour or more to write. If you only have fifteen to twenty minutes to write, a two-minute list-building session serves the same purpose of getting it all out. In just two minutes, name all your worries, concerns, to-do list that are crying out for your time. And since you’ve set aside these couple of minutes to write, just list them. Sure you will get to the to-dos, but now you are focusing and validating your creativity by writing your book or article for the next fifteen to twenty minutes. This is a decent amount of time to write at least the beginning of a scene or outline an article.
Personal care
Finally, free writing feels good. Besides that, it’s fun! It’s fun to move your pen across the paper or your fingers across the keyboard. It is part of the care and feeding of your soul. You are taking care of yourself. Congratulations!
In short, freewriting generates ideas, says YES to your creative engine, frees up brain space, and is a great way to take care of yourself.
Give yourself the gift of writing it all down.
