Experiment with the stream-of-consciousness narrative. Think about something that has happened to you recently. You might relay the events of a school day, a visit to a friend’s house, a trip to the store, etc. Tell about the event in a stream-of-consciousness narrative. In doing so, you should— as Virginia Woolf does in her speech—explore a new concept, draw a conclusion, or find a solution to a problem. In other words, you are using a relatively simple story of commonplace events to discover a not-so-simple element of truth.
