V. Woolf had the opportunità toh ave contact with the most read. Since she was a modernist she experimented the standards of the traditional novelists, but she rejected them, especially those of the novelists she considered materialists like S. Bennett and J. Galsworthy. The reason is she wanted to focus the attention on the SUBJECTIVE OF THE CHARACTERS AND ON THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS. She thought that only they could convey the truth of human experience: truth of life.
In order to reach her aim she tried hard to create novels that rendered the FLOW OF CONSCIOUSNESS, its stream. That explains for the rhythm of her prose and the use of language reminding the language of poetry. Flashbacks and flash wards are the means through which she conveys the inner life of her characters because this is the way the mind works.
She adopted and was a skilled exponent of the STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS TECHNIQUE given through FREE INDIRECT STYLE, THE ECLIPSE OF THE NARRATOR SND THE SHIFT OF THE POINT OF VIEW AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE INTERIOR MONOLOGUE.
Her idea of life is well expressed in her "The Common Reader" (1925) where she invites the reader to look within and to look at life. here she wants the reader to examine what happens in a mind, an ordinary mind on an ordinary day (the life og Monday or Tuesday). She explains that the mind receives impressions of a different nature (trivial or banal, but also very important). Such impressions are incessant and they create the shape of a day.
Since it is such impressions that make up people's ordinary life it is such impressions that the writer has to convey to the reader. It follow that "there would no plot..."(l.31-32).
According to V. Woolf's thought, therefore, LIFE CANNOT BE RETURNED TO THE READER IN A SERIES OF "GIG-LAMPS SYMMETRICALLY ARRANGED".
V. Woolf concludes the essay highlighting the concept that the novelist's task is to convey the unknown spirit of one's consciousness.
MOMENT OF BEING: V. Woolf is recognized as one of the great innovators of modern fiction. Her experiments with point of view have influenced many writers that followed her. But one particularly interesting technique that does not seem to reach much attention is her use of MOMENT OF BEING.
To wonder why some moments are so powerful and memorable -even if the events themselves are unimportant- that they can be vividly recalled while others are easily forgotten. She concludes that there are two kinds of experiences:

A. Moments of being
B. Moments of non-being

MOMENTS OF NON-BEING appear to be MOMENTS THAN THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF, even as he/she experiences them.
V. Woolf notes that people perform routine tasks such as walking and shopping without thinking about that.
This part of the life is: "not lived consciously", but instead is embodied: a kind of not-descript cotton-wool tissue. It is not the nature of the actions that separates moments of being from moment of non-beings. One activity is not intrinsically more mundane or more extraordinary than the other. Instead IT IS INTENSITY OF FEELING , ONE'S CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE EXPERIENCE that separates the two moments.
