Sorfejtésre

Sorfejtésre is a Hungarian term that translates to "free writing" or "freewriting" in English. It refers to a writing technique where an individual writes continuously for a set period without stopping, censoring, or worrying about grammar, spelling, or coherence. The primary goal of sorfejtésre is to overcome writer's block, generate ideas, and explore thoughts and emotions in an uninhibited manner.

The process typically involves setting a timer for a specific duration, such as five, ten, or twenty minutes. During this time, the writer is encouraged to put down any words that come to mind, even if they seem nonsensical or irrelevant to a particular topic. This can include jotting down single words, phrases, sentences, or even stream-of-consciousness reflections. The key principle is to maintain a constant flow of words onto the page or screen, resisting the urge to edit or self-critique.

Sorfejtésre is often used as a pre-writing exercise to warm up the mind and stimulate creativity. It can help writers uncover unexpected connections between ideas, explore subconscious thoughts, or simply to get started when facing a blank page. While the output of a sorfejtésre session may not be polished or directly usable, it can serve as a valuable source of raw material for later development. The emphasis is on quantity and spontaneity rather than quality or structure.
