Automatic writing.
You know, where you sit down with a pen and a piece of paper, calm and empty the mind by circling the pen in the top left corner of the page, and when the inclination hits you, just write without thinking about what you're writing - just let the pen ribbon across the paper.
I've been experimenting with it for a few weeks now, and some of the stuff I've come out with has genuinely surprised me. It's like dragging thoughts from the subconscious into the conscious mind.
I've been doing one page at a time, then typing it out and correcting the spelling and grammar. A lot of what comes out is surreal and abstract - kind of like gobbledegook with a hidden agenda - but every now and then there's certain passages which really stand out. If you like doing a bit of creative writing and you're suffering from writer's block, I'd say it's a good method of unlocking new and different ideas.
It's my new hobby. Has anyone done it, tried it? Perhaps you've written a 50,000 word book on sadomasichistic unicorns in 3 hours - ?

There is no such thing as an empty mind.
I'm sure certain Tibetan monks would argue with you on that point but....
Okay, so you calm yourself and attempt to reduce outside influences on the mind.

I beg to differ - look at all the moronic gibbering infantiles that frequent the forums then try telling me that.
There is such a thing as a vacuous mind, though.
Free-Association Writing ?
I've done it once but it made me feel worse..!
It's a good way though to get stuff off your mind.

See what I mean?
How do you mean..?!
I think I made a good point.
