Has anyone ever done that writing trick where you just start scribbling |
|
Without paying attention and supposedy you will start writing stuff eventually without even knowing it?

3. Yes - moderately successful |
|
It got me out of an idea-free spot once, but I don't recall anything coming out of the excerise per se. A warmup, if you will.

8. That's how I wrote most of my college papers |
|
I would just write and eventually I would start writing something that made some sense. I mostly used it when I had no idea what to write about and the paper was due the next day. :shrug: After writing several pages, I would print it out and highlight my thesis sentence and key points. Then I would start all over and write the essay. I hate to write and it's the only way I could get myself to actually sit down and form a cohesive essay sometimes.

17. Do you mean "automatic writing"? Supposedly its something we |
|
all can do but 'must tune into our psychic nature to be successful. Its like ESP - just a matter of developing it.
