where do you type this and how many words can you type a minute? do you just spew it out with no effort at all at work or something?

Honestly? yes. Little to no effort... certainly not something I proofread or fact check, hence the errors. I just swipe on my phone and set my thumbs free.
I do it deliberately, though. I don't much time to write about whatever pops into my head for the fuck of it, but I know that doing that kind of writing on a daily basis can have a profound effect on productivity and resourcefulness. I use the SYG the way some dipshit assholes use writing prompt apps and dream journals.
And yeah most of it is done at work. I'm fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to write almost constantly, but a lot of the writing I do at work is pretty soulless. Have you ever written press releases before, G? It's fucking tedious. Ever proofed and edited freelance submissions? Yikes. I consider it my right to take breaks for this shit, especially since it keeps me from hating my job.
I know I have a shitload of room for improvement with my writing, and I think just going apeshit on a topic you know about can make you a better writer all around.
Sorry it's long (kinda... not really). Glad you find it entertaining (really). It's an entirely selfish endeavor.
