Before I share with you the free-writing exercise, I figured it's best to provide a definition for "free writing" in case there are people not familiar with the term.
According to Wikipedia, free-writing is:
"a pre-writing technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic. It produces raw, often unusable material, but helps writers overcome blocks of apathy and self-criticism".
Now that we are familiar with the term, let's finally get started.

Hi Elma, good to see you! How've you been? :))
I definitely recommend this technique! Sometimes when I feel stuck, I just take a pen and a paper and simply just write ANYTHING. Then throughout the writing, some ideas start popping in and the writer's block is removed :) Try it!
I am excited to hear if it worked on you!

Hey Alexander, how you doing?
Thank you for stopping by - always happy to help! This technique works very well actually - somehow it activates the creative side in people (or at least in me).

Hey John!
Great to see you as usual :) How are you?
And thanks, I am happy to be helpful! It really is useful creating a tutorial right after I learn about something or follow the idea of creating a tutorial based on something I know. Those lovely "sparks"! :D
