Feel, Unthink, Write

Approach a writing idea with all your emotions. List feelings just the opposite to those that drive you to write the piece. If you're sad, feel glad.  If you feel happy, write about frustration. If anger colors your mood, consider what a  moment of pure joy might feel like.  Laugh! Add sounds, scents, tastes and textures.  Really feel the words as they cascade or float onto the page or screen. Chase the imagery!

Then, stop any thinking process.  Unthink and write.  Let your ideas play and streak into several directions.  Avoid evaluations! Go scattergun with seriousness and silliness. Check all the niches and corners of your brain power for possibilities.  Just write and keep writing until you do not want to stop.

Take a break and walk around the block or watch for activity outside your window.  Then, return, go in and circle ideas and sentences that prance with your energy. 

You're ready to write!
