Illiterate Peasant

The objective of this exercise is to keep your pen or pencil moving, or if you are on a laptop or computer, to keep typing continuously without stop. Once your pen touches paper or your fingers touch the keys, you are word-vomiting anything and everything that comes to mind. We do this with the intention of clearing our thoughts and our minds of any baggage or information that may get in the way or otherwise hinder our creative processes before writing. Take as much time as you like/need-anywhere from a minute to five or ten minutes-whatever it takes to give yourself a clean slate to start with. These writings do not have to make coherent sense or really even any sense at all, and you may never set eyes on them again once finished. As already stated, it is just a method of clearing the mental junk from our systems to pave the way for the good stuff. |
