Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Winner of both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, Oscar Wilde is the definitive biography of the tortured poet and playwright and the last book by renowned biographer and literary critic Richard Ellmann. Ellmann dedicated two decades to the research and writing of this biography, resulting in a complex and richly detailed portrait of Oscar Wilde. Ellman captures the wit, creativity, and charm of the psychologically and sexually complicated writer, as well as the darker aspects of his personality and life. Covering everything from Wilde's rise as a young literary talent to his eventual imprisonment and death in exile with exquisite detail, Ellmann's fascinating account of Wilde's life and work is a resounding triumph.

In freewriting, the writer has the freedom to put down everything without second guesses or judgment.The subconscious mind holds many ideas and freewriting helps writers to access these ideas that they may never have discovered if they were trying to come up with something to write about.

Free Writing and the Subconscious Mind

“The conscious mind is the editor, and the subconscious mind is the writer. And the joy of writing, when you’re writing from your subconscious, is beautiful – it’s thrilling. When you’re editing, which is your conscious mind, it’s like torture.”

Freewriting has been scientifically proven to help writers focus and gain confidence in their writing abilities.Researchers found that freewriting exercises helped students develop a deeper understanding of how to produce high-quality academic writing.Freewriting also helps us to regulate emotions. writing about stressful or traumatic experiences can help lessen people’s anxiety.

The Science Behind Free Writing

Stopping presents the opportunity for your inner critic to come out. By writing nonstop, you allow your subconscious mind to fully take over and New thoughts will come to you eventually.

Write Nonstop 

Whatever comes to mind, write it down. Even if something doesn’t seem to make sense or does not connect to the previous idea you wrote, write it down anyway.Allowing yourself to write without editing is the only way to free yourself from your criticism. By doing so, you can unlock new and exciting ideas without worrying about their quality or clarity.

Do Not Censor Yourself

Freewriting is similar to brainstorming in that it can help writers discover new ideas. However, brainstorming still involves the stopping, thinking and editing that free writing avoids.Treat freewriting as an exercise that has no end goal, rather than as an exercise for coming up with ideas. While freewriting often does help writers find ideas, it is okay and still effective if it doesn’t.

Do Not Think of It As Brainstorming 

Find a prompt that best suits your needs. Prompts can be as simple as “I want to write about…” to help with creative writing, or “I want to argue that…” to help with academic writing. If you get stuck during the free write, you can always return to the prompt.

Use a Prompt 

Putting pen to paper has been scientifically proven to aid productivity and creativity. Studies using MRI show that handwriting increases neural activity in parts of the brain in a way that is similar to meditation.Writing longhand is more physically engaging than typing, meaning more of your body is focused on the act of writing. Also, being away from a screen means you are less likely to become distracted.

Use a Pen and Paper

Save your free writing so you can refer to it while working on current and future writing projects.Something that doesn’t stand out to you now might be exactly what you need to help you move forward with a writing project down the line.

By writing for yourself, you&#39;re more likely to write something other people will like. Readers know when your work is authentic—the best way to be authentic is to write for yourself.
When you write for yourself, the process of writing is the reward itself. If you love doing something, you&#39;ll keep on doing it.

Write for yourself

Writing is thinking. It is a way to understand and order the world better. Writing is a process of self-discovery. You may start with a specific topic in mind, and as the essay fills out and your curiosity increases, the end result may be different from what you started with.&nbsp;

Write to think

When you publish often, you'll build an audience, and an audience gives you accountability. This accountability will make you want to write more, which will make you better at writing and generating exciting ideas. Edit and polish your piece until it flows. But at some point, press publish. Then listen to feedback and adjust your following pieces.

Publish often

To publish often, you will need a routine. Routines help to establish good habits, enabling you to become better. Focus on systems, not goals. Choose a specific time each day to write. Use triggers to let your brain know it's time to write, such as a cup of coffee or listening to a specific playlist.

Design a writing routine

A deadline helps you to focus on the process and publish regularly. It's a commitment. "I'll publish one article every Wednesday by 4 PM." But life sometimes happens, and you may miss a deadline. Then do everything you can to reach the next one.

Have a deadline

When you first start out, focus on being consistent more than on quality. Your quality will improve when you keep on writing and publishing. Consistent writing will generate more feedback, allowing you to learn faster what you enjoy writing about and what your audience wants.

Quantity over quality

Simple tools offer no distractions. It helps you focus and do more, again and again. George R.R. Martin wrote almost two million words for The Game of Thrones series on WordStar 4.0, a word processor from the 80s. A program such as Text Edit on full-screen is also effective.

Use simple tools

Most ideas come at inconvenient times, such as during a conversation with a friend, a thought while watching a show, a link while you're exercising. <ul><li>Get used to writing ideas down the moment they pop into your head. Don't judge the ideas - just make them intelligible so that the future you can understand what is in your head.&nbsp;</li><li>Ideas are writing prompts. When you start writing it down, there's always something to write about.</li></ul>

Write down ideas

You'll sometimes read something that speaks to your soul. Or a unique idea. A well-told story. A novel way to explain something. When you find one of these, save them to a swipe file or write them on index cards. Over time, you'll build a treasure chest of your favourite things to keep as inspiration when you write.

Keep a swipe file 

When we write, we often want the best resource available online on a given topic. This is impossible and only adds pressure. Instead, consider published essays as incomplete by default. Write what you know about a topic now. Then, when you find a new resource, you can always edit it later or write a new essay.

An essay is never finished

Writing is hard. Never easy. But with practice, it becomes easier. Here are 10 writing lessons I've learned throughout 10 years of writing.
