11 unusual freewriting techniques

One of the most useful and exciting writing techniques for self-development is freeriding. It helps relieve stress, talk, look into your subconscious and generate a couple of interesting ideas. Often, especially for beginners, it is difficult to catch a stream of thoughts and transfer it to paper. In addition, it is sometimes required to conduct a freeriding session for some specific tasks such as brainstorming or psychotherapy. In all these cases, our non-standard freeriding techniques will help you.

1
Gogol's Method
Perhaps the most difficult thing about freeriting is getting started. You probably came across this if you tried this practice. Gogol also had moments when inspiration was not enough to work on a new masterpiece. In such cases, he recommended taking the paper and starting to write as follows: "Something is not being written to me today." Repeat this phrase until a new thought comes to you and you can write it down.

2
From the contrary
If you do not know what you would like to write about now, write about what you do not want. For example: “I do not want to write about tram drivers, because ...” And further develop your idea. This is an almost guaranteed method, since everything that we do not like causes a negative reaction. And you will definitely have something to say. You just need to provoke your brain. This will help not only to start, but also to look at things from the other side. Especially if you take as a main topic some real problem that you don’t want to think about

Under influence
Write drunk, edit sober. It was this famous aphorism of Hemingway that was his working motto. However, in order to frigrate in an altered state of consciousness, it is not at all necessary to resort to substances hostile to your health.

Friedrich Schiller is said to have worked with his feet in cold water. A few push-ups are enough for your brain to start functioning differently. Among other methods of exposure: music, aromatherapy, contrast shower, meditation. Everything that at least partially removes your body from its familiar state will do.

What I see, that I sing
It can also be called the akyn method. These are such Turkic improvisational singers who literally use the advice in the subtitle. And it is very convenient to use for freeriting. Look out the window and start writing about what is happening there. Describe everything that happened to you in the morning or while you were driving to work. This is not quite the same as writing a diary - here you should not think about the design of thoughts and structure, and you have every right to leave the topic as soon as your brain wants it.
5
Genre change
It is rather a technique for writers and other representatives of creative professions. Need to write a sales text or a complicated technical article? Do it in the form of a love letter or in the fantasy genre. Such a gap in the template will help to look at the problem from a new angle and find creative approaches to solving it.

6
Freight Unloading
Technically, this is any other type of freeriding. However, what happens next is important. You spill thoughts on paper, and then just crumple it and throw it away. Do not analyze, do not reflect - throw it away. Here the main task is emotional unloading.

7
Associative freeriding
Choose a specific topic (for example, annoying social media ads), and then quickly and quickly record all incoming associations, expanding the chain. Thus it is possible to come to very unexpected conclusions and ideas. It is important to relax and fix associations as much as possible, and not to invent them.

8
Free stocking
You may not be very fond of writing or too busy for this. Then try turning on the recorder and say your thoughts to it. This will take much less time, although you will lose a certain meditation process of classic freeriding. This method is by no means suitable for everyone (for many it is much easier to write something than to tell), but perhaps for you it will be the best option on the contrary.

Layered freeriding
In the process of freeriting, you will probably raise some topics that you would like to discuss in more detail. In this case, arrange a separate session for yourself on the question you are interested in. You can deploy it as much as you need. And, accordingly, to conduct more and more sessions, getting to the bottom of the matter. Also in this case, you can combine freeriding with the “Chart Why” technique. Formulate a topic, and then ask the question “Why?” Write down all the thoughts that come to mind.

Conversation in the kitchen
If you are unable to share your thoughts with a blank sheet of paper, then you may need an interlocutor. Imagine that you are now sitting in the kitchen and conducting intimate conversations with a friend. Now just transfer this conversation to paper.

Letter
Another option is to write a letter to an imaginary (or even real) friend with whom you can share everything. Of course, this technique imposes certain restrictions on the free format of freeriting. However, this is a great way to speak out and formulate unconscious problems.
