SULAT SESSION

the key to writing something is to write, not to think..and that's what im doing right now..i remember those times, wehn our teacher would tell us to write an essay about anything under the sun..that would be an infinite list of choices but then the moment we start looking at the paper and trying to think of what to write.. that's the moment we can't think of anything to write and our paper stays blank for a while...yeah im not thinkin right now im just writing and writing.well of course im also thinking but im not like really thinking. you know what i mean..i guess not..coz this is what you call free writing.. i also remember i passed an article about freewriting session during a staff meeting of our school newsletter. freewriting is actually just writing anything.as in anything just to fill out a page or so. its hard at first but then you'll realize who cares if you're just gonna put "im writing im writing im writing...and then you'll go i cant think of anything to write i cant think of anything to write but now im writing and writing and writing...who cares! thats why you call it freewriting..you're grammar doesn't matter..freewriting is a way to break that fear of filling up a page with words and in time you'll realized you did it..and you're starting to talk about a topic without realizing it.actually the reason why i got into this point is because im not doing anything else here in the office so i decided to have a freewriting session..at least my session improved..i kept on writing in this without putting of my hands..just continuously hitting the keyboard.nevermind if im saying nonsense things or if my grammar slips a lot..who cares. i told you this is part of a freewriting session..it just kills time but then it kills your fear of writing...in no time...voila look a filled up a page see??? you should try it..sometimes its fun...its like telling so much but not pushing your mind to think to much..everything else will just flow out of the mind freely...see..im done.
