Should we post streams of consciousness online?

The never ending flow of narration that bores into your mind. It’s a continuous stream from a human thought that isn’t allowed to be edited. Isn’t allowed to change. You simple write, write and write some more. Usually to a timer but always to find the flow. Unfortunately I fear such writing would be too verbose, too extreme for another mind to interpret. Even now you can see how my thoughts, words and phrases have become rambling. I’m fighting against the flow to try and shape it in the moment, to control the hose of ideas down into my fingers and out on to the keyboard.

Is this making sense or is it rambling. Most likely the latter. You see I don’t think we should post streams of consciousness online. It’s my belief that we should edit, writing is editing as my creative writing teacher would say. We should use streams of consciousness to warm up our brain, get it ready to write and then even to process our thoughts, feelings and inner ideas. But such a thing should never see the light of the internet, that is unless you’re doing it to make a point.
