Timed Free-Write

Timed free-write: using a timer, set the clock to ten minutes and write whatever comes to mind until the timer goes off. No stopping nor editing nor lifting your hand from the page.
The idea is to cut through the “editor mind” in order to let the wild creative mind take over for a while.
