A hunch to type up, word for word, the writing from my [Flow Writing](https://acmewong.com/flow-writing/) session that I hand-wrote in my journal this morning and share it here on my blog. "Flow Writing" or "stream-of-consciousness writing" is my daily practice where I write 2 pages by hand, free-flowing without any stopping or pausing. A totally different experience compared to right now, me sitting in front of my laptop, pausing for a good long minute (maybe more) to I stare out across my desk and out the window at the cars driving up and down I-5, slowly arranging my thoughts, pulling at various threads and trying to organize and structure them into something that you might find helpful or meaningful. There is no pausing like this when I actually do my stream of consciousness writing. Ironically though, sometimes really coherent and intelligent stuff emerges from my stream of consciousness writing. Usually it's kinda random though, but the way the practice has helped rewire my brain to tap into flow and allow ideas to come through with ease has been profound. So this one's for anyone interested in accessing higher states of flow and getting some of that profundity for yourself. Apparently profundity is a word. And yeah, hopefully seeing what my practice in action helps in some way. As a reminder, the rules to "flow writing" / "stream-of-consciousness writing" are: 1. Sit down. 2. Write a full page (or two). 3. Keep the pen moving the entire time, no pausing or stopping to think, judge, or edit what is coming through. Without further ado, here's exactly what I wrote (unedited) during this morning's flow journaling sesh: Beautiful Day! Perfect Day! It's 11:24am and I'm at my desk in the office. Dodo is sleeping on the heating pad in the living room. She hasn't eaten anything yet today. After this writing I shall test out her appetite with some kibble, and if she bites then I will prepare her a glorious breakfast. She might be missing Alex. So dramatic, this dog. I am blessed. We are blessed. What if, for today's blog article, I literally transcibe this non-stop stream-of-consciousness writing that I'm doing right now? Would that be weird? Maybe it would be helpful to show or demonstrate to others that this is a simple, seemingly pointless exercise, but the point is not to get "good writing" out of Flow Writing, the point is to become more capable at locking in and flowing, letting random threads of thought come to you, and to gain confidence in being able to sit down anywhere, anytime, and weave these threads of thought into coherent writing. Sometimes incoherent, but the more one practices writing under the constraint of not being able to pause, of having to keep writing even if one is making typos or grammatical mistakes or one's hand starts feeling a little crampy. Not sure what to call it. Tight? Like, it's not "cramping up." If you hand literally starts cramping up, then you should obviously stop writing for a bit. But like, crampy, tight, fatigued, to feel all that and to keep writing through it. Doing it live. Not knowing what the next sentence will bring. There could be a sudden topic change, an abrupt segway (or is it segue?) into a completely different direction. My legs are crossed as I sit in this computer chair. I think Kiana mentioned a while back that crossing out legs was not good for the body. Fixed. Breathe. That's something I do when writing sometimes. I mean, I'm always breathing (I'm not some celestial being on a mission to discover what being human is all about), but like, if there's ever a lull in my mind while doing stream-of-consciousness writing, it's a sign that my energy/breath are probably not flowing properly. So I write "breathe..." and as I write it I take in a slow, deep, delicious inhale filling my lungs to max capacity and then slowly exhale as more threads of thought make themselves available to me and which I can seamlessly grab on to and continue my flow writing practice, all while not having paused or stopped my writing at any point. It's actually very helpful, the breathing thing. Now the waggle-booty is doing what a waggle-booty does. It waggles and communicates through the speed and pattern of the waggle that it wants some yummy yummy. So I will go and prep some yummy yummy for the waggle-booty now. Toodles, Acme
