So much so that I get annoyed with myself for taking so long! I'm sure the babble that stems from my freewriting is not fit for public consumption haha.Catherine Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779799397032396279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-34140455562620806832012-05-20T22:04:27.760+01:002012-05-20T22:04:27.760+01:00Interesting...

I suppose that is very similar to freewriting.Michael Horvathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490946095047002839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-65395452053857690142012-05-17T09:56:41.307+01:002012-05-17T09:56:41.307+01:00@Clare: It's really good, I've started loo...@Clare: It's really good, I've started looking forward to my wee "warm up". As if I weren't enthusiastic/obsessed enough about writing :)<br /><br />@Michelle: Oooh I shall have to check that website out, Michelle, it sounds excellent. Thank you!<br /><br />@Ciara Margaret Quinlan: Sweet Mother of Lucifer is a phrase my sister and I invented for dramatic effect. I'm glad it turned your cogs haha. <br /><br />@deathwriter: I've heard this is quite a common excersize in creative writing classes. It really is amazing, I can't recommend it highly enough! :)<br /><br />Anonymous: Indeed!<br /><br />@nutschell: It does, doesn't it? It only makes me ache (even moreso) for a life of writing full time, where I could start my day like this every day!Catherine Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779799397032396279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-79764016374766986462012-05-16T18:24:49.852+01:002012-05-16T18:24:49.852+01:00It really does work.

She'd just give us a prompt and we'd all write like mad for 15 minutes. It was amazing what can come out when we turn our editors off.deathwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12981490242657443114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-23037457058441544802012-05-12T22:23:45.229+01:002012-05-12T22:23:45.229+01:00Have to say, it worked for me.

How would she feel about how her son turned out?

I use it (with soft background music), for a 5-10 minute freewriting prompt, to get the creative juices flowing...michellehttp://writer-in-transit.co.za/f-s-f-sombrero/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524691656902294667.post-69622809517063889972012-05-12T21:30:44.368+01:002012-05-12T21:30:44.368+01:00This sounds like a really interesting exercise.
