Don’t worry, I promise not to post this kind of thing everyday.  I don’t use it everyday, but I plan to get back into it and see if I can beat my 30 consecutive day record.  The point is that freeform writing really helps my free my mind from certain thoughts. The act of writing gets the surface “stuff” out and lets the deeper creativity rise to the top. In freeform or free-writing, you just keep writing.  I pretty much do it for a lot of my blog posts too, unless it’s at nuwomb.com and I’m trying to write better.

If you are interested, the site I use is called 750words.com and it’s based around a book called The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Julia encourages you to write 750 words each day. It’s not as easy as it sounds but amazing things can happen when you do this. Another author, Mark Levy, recommends this type of freeform writing as well. He wrote a book called The Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content. I’ve read parts of it.

Bottom line is that I was reminded, today, of how much it can help to free me from certain thoughts.

Now I can get on with my day!

PS. I noted in my last post about moving nuwomb.com to WP Engine and shared a screenshot. Well, if you were to go to nuwomb.com now, the page is a hint different. This means it’s now on the WP Engine server. I’m working through a few of the site niggles (I love that I learned this word via WooThemes) and the site will be up again tomorrow morning!
