Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. Today's Moment comes from a Washington Post article on National Novel Writing Month, which is exactly as exciting as it sounds. It starts off with an anecdote about a participant who is currently undergoing medical treatment ("She is also approaching the halfway point of her novel, a mystery titled "Raised by Wolves." She must finish it by Nov. 30, averaging 1,667 words a day, cancer or no cancer.") and just gets better. Your bit comes from the section on strategies to aid the blocked writer:

But Kush's loophole is an example of "free writing," or letting words flow without regard for coherence or form. The idea is to keep writing without inhibition, even if you have to write, "I can't think of anything to write." Sometimes a great idea (or phrase, or metaphor) can pop out in the process like an unexpected twin during birth.

Yeah, it happens.
