From Peter Elbow’s Writing With Power pg 125:
Write for yourself: use freewriting, explore a train of thought, figure out a decision, write yourself out of a depression. You can even dash off pieces for certain audiences on certain occasions when you don’t care how they react. You aren’t giving them a finished product, you are just letting them look around in your messy studio at some of your work in progress. You’ll discover you can produce all these kinds of unrevised writing almost as quickly as you have ideas. You will end up writing lots because it’s not such a big production.
