Day 8 brought to you by @snook
Freewrite song, FreeSpeak, Speakwrite…….
Where did my keyboard go?
There are days when words are swirling in my head and I SO want to participate in the Freewrites but my hands and brain don’t want to connect. Are not able to type the words out on paper.
This is how the Speakwrites all started for me. Now hopefully you too! They are so much fun. So freeing in what comes out of your head when you just speak from your heart about what today’s prompt means to you.
You do need a microphone and some kind of free recording device in order to do it. I’m not a technical person so you will have to find out how to accomplish that for your type of computer. I’m sorry. It is the one drawback to doing them.
The Rules
- Set your timer for 5 minutes.
- Keep in mind the prompt of the day.
- Hit record.
- Close your eyes.
- Let your mind free……
- Speak from your heart.
- Don’t stop.
- Don’t over think.
- Keep speaking until the timer goes off.
- Don’t judge yourself.
- Write out the words you just spoke in 5 minutes
- Post it for all of us to hear your wonderful thoughts!
Sometimes I just record the story and leave it just as I spoke it. Upload it to my free SoundCloud account. I then make a post after I go back and write down the words that came to my head in 5 minutes as you can hear clicking below.
Other times I will go in and take out all the silent spaces and find some free music to go with a Speakwrite and post it like that on soundcloud. Click below to see what that sounds like.
Then there are the times when a Speakwrite takes on a life of its own for me. Those Speakwrites need a movie to go with it to help explain the meaning of the story that came into my head. These Speakwrites end up very special as I use old games, I use to play, for the telling of the tails. Below is an example of that.
The hardest part of doing a Speakwrite is going back and writing out all your words you spoke in your 5 minutes. The rest is just icing on the cake!
Watch this page for upcoming contests using Speakwrites as the theme. YES!! YOU CAN DO IT!! And you too will have so much fun in how freeing it is to just speak your mind for 5 minutes and then be amazed at what you all got out in those 5 minutes. Trust in the freedom of your mind!
Win, Win, Win!!!
