James -
Instead of writing gibblegabblegibblegobble for seven minutes - which is lots of fun, and very easy, and of absolutely no meaning and interest to anybody except you - why don't you try to write and post a poem instead? A limerick or a tailgater on one of the other threads on this Board will give you a structured task and challenge.
What Maz said about not posting free association or rough drafts is 150% correct. It's not that the exercise is useless - it's that it's your exercise. Take it, learn from it, extract the good stuff, put it into a poem - rewrite it and work on it - rewrite it again - sweat - and then post it.
