I don't usually do this, but today it was a really productive tool...
When I write steam of consciousness, or free write, I usually pick a song, or playlist that I'm really into at the moment. I fire it up super loud and just start scribbling, without letting myself stop, until the song(s) finish. Its interesting because I find that the subject matter, or pace of the piece I write will match the song(s).
Today I played Greenday.
The most important (and most difficult) thing about this kind of writing prompt, in my experienc, is NOT pausing to think about or analyze what you've written. You just have to keep going.
