write a Book With Stream of Consciousness

writers approach Stream of consciousness writing strictly as a personal exercise. This literary phrase means different techniques of discovery to different writers. Some students of writing believe it is somewhat kin to Psychic writing, or Automatic Writing, when a foreign spirit inhabits the writer's body. (Twilight Zone theme music in the background?) They find themselves saying all kinds of things on the page, most of it unrelated and scattered in concept.

Truly, much of the text in Stream of Consciousness writing, however weird or silly it becomes, may not be of much use. But somewhere within the Stream of Consciousness experience, there is a phrase or thought, which piques the imagination and proves curiously inspiring.
