Episode 4: The art of freewriting

If you’ve ever looked at a blank page and felt completely stuck, this episode is for you.Thanks for reading Deeper Than Words! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. The art of freewriting might sound like something from the swingin’ 60s but I swear this s**t works. Freewriting has done more to unstick the ideas caught up in my brain than any other ideas-based exercise ever has. And the more you do it, the easier it gets and, usually, the more you get from it. This episode gives you a little taster on what freewriting is all about and how to incorporate it into your regular practice but, for lots more information and guidance, you should check out the most popular blog post on my website about it: The Art of Freewriting. What I love about freewriting is that it taps into something at a subconscious level. It’s as close to meditation as you can get, without closing your eyes and saying “ommmm”. I love how, when I do it, the ideas start flowing, and I usually end up finding some phrases and word choices that appear in later pieces.
