My experience of writing is both informal and messy. I truly “trust the gush.” Instead of thinking deeply and then coming up with my words, I like writing through my emotions. Instead of extreme structure, I find it much easier to just go with the words that flow out of my mind onto the page. When I write, I start out by relaxing. I will grab my laptop, curl up with a warm blanket, and type. Sometimes, when I can’t come up with ideas, I’ll grab a bite to eat and get my mind off to other things. Then when I come back to the writing, I am refreshed and ready to go.
The key in good writing is writing about things that are important to you or you have strong feelings about. Without emotion, writing is just words on a page, but with emotion, words transform into something more. They can transform the very world around you into a far away place, or move your heart and mind to get behind an issue.
Writing is a process that should not be rushed or disturbed. For everyone, they have to write in their own ways. It’s important to remember that whether you “trust the gush” or think through every word and carefully choose your wording, write with emotion. When I write with emotion, I am successful.
