The Ten Minute Session: Automatic Writing

Description

Automatic writing is a Surrealist technique which allows you to free your mind and create free flowing texts. The technique is said to help you access your unconscious mind.

The results of automatic writing are often nonsensical and sometimes illegible.

The instructions below have been adapted from those written by Andre Breton, a Surrealist Artist.


Instructions

 

1)    Set yourself up with paper and a pen

 

2)    Put yourself in a passive state

 

3)    Forget your genius and talents – and everyone else’s

 

4)    Write quickly without a pre-set subject

 

5)    Do not read over what you have written
