Writing
Sometimes known as automatic writing, or spontaneous writing, improvisational writing starts with the premise that you simply put pen to paper and start writing. Leave your judge and critic behind and break out of your usual constraints. Let the words fly. Get crazy!
Depending on your use for improv writing, you can always return to your writing to revise, if you are producing a piece that requires more precision and perhaps a cohesive structure. You can also use improv writing for others reasons such as:
- Break writer's block
- Try something new
- Prime your pumps to get the creative juices and words flowing
- Work thru your own personal issues
- Nurture your inner artist
- Create innovative works of art
- Brainstorm new ideas
- Collaborate from a distance on works of literature
- Build increments of writing that lead to longer pieces
- Start that novel
- Loosen up that novel
- Develop your acting range and deepen your characters
- Explore new territory
Improv writing frees you up to get started, keep going, and move forward toward your writing, artistic, and personal goals.
