What makes stream of consciousness a unique literary technique?

Stream of consciousness is unique for its portrayal of unfiltered thoughts and emotions directly from a character's mind, often in fragmented and nonlinear ways. It captures the fluidity of human thinking, offering psychological realism by revealing inner conflicts and desires. This technique challenges traditional narrative structure, inviting readers to engage actively with the text to piece together meaning. Its influence on modern literature is profound, shaping experimental storytelling and deepening the portrayal of characters' inner lives.

Writing is a creative pursuit. The best advice is first, write from the heart, then edit. The two are very different processes. I never edit the same day I write. The left brain is the editor, the right brain is the creator.

Bypassing filters, stream of consciousness lets you "hear" every fleeting thought, rational or silly, in a character's mind. It's like being their confidant, privy to their unedited mental world - messy and unpredictable, just like your own.

Creative freedom is vital. No book should be censored. The reader has free will to decide what fits in their belief system or understanding. The same goes for people. Everyone has an inherent right to express themselves or be who they are.

Journaling, free writing, is powerful. Since I am an angelic realm communicator, the flow of conciousness, when linked into the higher self, brings wisdom. Once I channel for clients, I never fix, change, or add words to the communication. When I write for myself, my books, my business, it's a different process. Yes, I'm still guided, but there is more of my thought process involved after I write.

Emotionally, stream of consciousness is a rollercoaster ride. Unfiltered feelings and reactions weave a tapestry of raw depth, pulling you into the character's uncensored mental world. It's not just witnessing their journey, it's feeling every current that shapes their actions. A truly immersive experience.

Stream of consciousness dives deep, not just showing thoughts, but how characters think. Witness biases, contradictions, the messy symphony of their mind. Memories & experiences paint their world, a window into their soul's kaleidoscope.

Meditate, or set intention. Write yourself a question such as "What is a solution for..." then let it flow. Often the out of the box ideas are the ones that are guided.

Lastly, employing stream of consciousness is an artistic dance. Writers delve into character's psyche, weaving prose that feels both unfiltered and profound. Readers must be patient explorers, navigating the labyrinthine thoughts. Yet, mastered, it becomes a revelation, each page a window into the kaleidoscope of the human mind.

When I write my fiction, the characters develop a unique voice. Once I "know" them, I can discern if their voice and actions fit to who the reader believes the character is or isn't. I dislike when a TV series throws a curve ball out of nowhere. They completely change a character's mindset, making the person do something that doesn't fit, there by losing me as the reader.
