Proprioceptive Writing: The Rules and Concluding Questions

The Rules

  1. Write what you hear
  2. Listen to what you write
  3. Be ready to ask the proprioceptive question

What is the proprioceptive question? The proprioceptive question is:

What do I mean by _________?

The blank is whatever you “hear” during your session. This is about getting out what you hear and not judging the content. This is personal writing. Explore whatever is inside, then you will be able to expand it creatively afterward.

The Four Concluding Questions

  1. What thoughts were heard but not written?
  2. How or what do I feel now?
  3. What larger story is the write part of?
  4. What ideas came up for future writes?

The write is perfect, even if the feelings are not
