Set the timer for five minutes and just let if flow. No editing, just release all that is within. The purpose is to discover things that you didn't

If you want to give it a try and need some structure... or a little added pressure, try The Most Dangerous Writing App. This one really forces you to keep writing because if you stop for more than a few seconds -- it's all gone!
You were charming.
Romantic.
Awkwardly complex, and so, so angry.

Oh Hollywood, sometimes you do get it right and it's an eerie thing.

How you've made the awkward, complicated, mysterious and dangerous so sexy.
The fantasy selling itself because we all so desperately want to be seen.

Escape comes for some and their story becomes their own. For others, the unspoken rests uneasy until the pen slashes their words into the light. Darkness retreats, but for only moments. For no one ever truly escapes the box. Some things should never become reality.
And that's the danger that waits in the middle of what glitters and what is gold.
You never know what is hiding within!
As per the rules, no going back and editing a single thing.
Art is born in the moment and it is our truest Becoming.
