Eighth grade core (Language Arts/social studies) teacher Miss Byrd put on Simon & Garfunkel and similar artists and had our class journal. She told us we could specify "please don't read" for any given entry, so I felt safe being a silly, vulnerable teen. Stream of consciousness writing at that age made a HUGE difference in how I approached writing from then on.
That sounds like an amazing teacher! I didn't stumble on stream of consciousness writing until college, but that unlocked a lot of doors for me as well.
Good luck with your pitch!
Thanks! It's only my second-ever pitch to a traditional publisher, so I'm nervous and probably overthinking everything!

No we all tend towards the negative in our minds ( survival instinct apparently) but I admire it.
