This afternoon I sat and wrote in my journal, but I’ll admit to you it was hard work. For some reason I felt uninspired, out of touch with what was happening in my head, yet unable to get any of it down on the page. It was then I remembered
free writing or what might otherwise be known as
stream of consciousness. Dedicating a page to this exercise I wrote without stopping until I’d filled it. Yes, the stuff I wrote didn’t make any sense, even to me, and I wrote it. I didn’t use capital letters, punctuation or any of those other little grammar niceties. And boy did I feel better. Sometimes I think we all need just a little bit of nonsense. Breaking the rules can be so, so liberating. I hope you’re game to give this idea a try. Please share in the comments section what you thought if you do give it a go.
