You cant write all your thoughts. Theyre too fast, and once you focus on writing them they wont be your "natural" monkey mind thoughts anyway. What would be cool would be if there was a machine that could record thoughts during the day and then you could listen back to them, that would be so trippy.

When you're in a negative thought pattern, or you start to feel off, you can mediate and slow or stop thoughts. Sometimes this feels amazing, and relaxing and other times it feels like further constipating yourself. Then the other option and the best option if you cannot meditate in that moment is to do a 180 degree opposite approach and speed them up, with focus and write them out, almost like a flow of consciousness with the intent to bring things to light. It helps to not take yourself seriously and bring in a sense of humor and a willingness to go along with the impulse to change the subject randomly if it arises or you notice yourself writing on a subject that is making you feel worse, not better. If you do this you often find that there is no real such thing as random and strange connections and synchronicity come about from it. I often go into journaling feeling disgusting and come out in very little time at all, completely amused and in a state of wonder.

I don't think most of those thoughts are even formed or separated from feelings associated with them. They wouldn't be recordable. Once you put a thought into language it's formed, and so I think that's why we often feel constipated by unformed or partially unconscious thoughts. 

A huge insight I got from @Nahm but also kind of a umm.. duh! moment insight (like all the deepest insights) is that you only ever think one single thought at a time. Writing kills the illusion that there's a multiplicity of stuff spinning around, and when you write you channel them in a focused manner, and form your thoughts in one stream, one thought at a time.

No need, everything is written down in the Akashic Records. Someday you will be able to read them.

Indeed. Awareness of focus & feeling, and of the ‘clouds’ focused upon obscuring the sky (focus & feeling). Surely new subtlety and nuance will be noticed, new care in standards arises, like capitalizing letters at the beginning of sentences, adding periods, utilizing proper spacing, new feeling unsuppresed, uncovered, in the simplest of caring, we might say of actually giving a shit about your creating.  There’s so so much to see!

My one thought focused upon right now is believing in you. Feels like a portal, or vortex of awesomeness.

Write till you are bored of to think any thoughts, including “you”.

Writing in a flow of consciousness style can be very beneficial. I’d almost suggest this over meditation at times for some people.

Yeah this could be helpful. I'll try it some day.

Tho I can't be the only one who sometimes has thoughts that literally cannot be written. These are thoughts beyond language. This is when art comes in I guess.
