And for a lot of kids, that's quite liberating.
We can start with just one or two minutes of free writing and build up over time.
Exactly.
And in fact, part of the reason that we feel that way is because there is this sort of what I call the ghost of public school past sitting on our shoulder watching us write.
And so part of the practice of free writing or morning pages or whatever is to help us learn how to flick her off our shoulders.
We are not writing for performance.
We are writing to get to know ourselves, to discover what we think.
I often will be in the shower out for a run and I'm thinking about what I want to write or what I want to say.
When I go to the page or the screen, it is gone.
All those thoughts that I thought were so coherent are not the same as what ends up on the screen or the page.
And that is because the activity of thinking coordinated with a hand is different than just thinking.
And so it takes time to train those two to work together.
And the mechanics of writing can inhibit self-expression.
I'll give you an example.
You might have a child like I did, my youngest of five.
Who really loved difficult vocabulary words because she was the youngest of five kids.
She had two parents and four kids older than her using vocabulary she couldn't spell yet, but that she found amazing.
Her favorite word when she was about seven was cornucopia.
She couldn't spell that word.
If I asked her to write a sentence, she is going to worry about spelling that word and getting it wrong.
