Nonstop Free Writing

By now every ERW student knows what nonstop free writing is, if you don't well I have no clue what you have been doing in class for the past couple weeks. To the point at hand, in almost every Peter Elbow presentation we have heard this idea of nonstop free writing that helps to help create your masterpiece of a writing. Not only have we heard the method in many presentations but we have also experienced it first hand when writing in our notebooks to the beautiful music Ms.Fletcher plays. What is the point of this method though? Why does Ms.Fletcher want us to write nonstop for ten minutes straight while listening to Watermelon Man? It's actually very simple and that's to get use to writing all your thoughts and ideas on a piece of paper without stopping to think. To allow all those ideas and thoughts just flow out of your head onto a piece of paper. Being the brilliant teacher Ms. Fletcher is she helps the process of allowing your ideas to flow out. For example Ms. Fletcher always makes sure the room is completely silent so nothing can get in the way of your ideas such as sound, you might think well the music she is playing is sound and can get in the way, well I'm sorry but your wrong. Scientifically music like the one Ms.Fletcher plays, Jazz and Classical, helps people to write better and more. You can imagine how this idea of nonstop free writing is important because it is, Peter Elbow stresses the importance in it and so does Ms. Fletcher the reason is because of the results the method brings.
