Stream of Thoughts

Can you write an article when you're completely out of inspiration?

Can you write your thoughts straight down, without having to order them first?

Can you write one article after another, without thinking about a topic in between, just to fill the mag?

I ask myself such questions very often. Wouldn't a mag be nice to read that contains many articles by one person, revealing the structures and ways of this person's thinking?

But then, you're much affected by your temporary condition, mood, time. You can't write all day long, which would give a long coherent inner monologue. You have to make breaks. But if you make a break, the flow of your thoughts that is reproduced on paper, or in a text-file, is interrupted. You resume your work in a new position, and first you will have to explain what you thought in the meantime before you could continue thinking writing.

Actually there are so many basic things that must have to be explained before someone else can understand your current thoughts that you do not know where to start. Maybe a very long inner monologue can show other people your everyday philosophy best. But then again, why do you want this?

Better think of a topic first and then write about it.
