What is Freewriting?

Freewriting is one of the better techniques that writers can use. If you have an idea for a topic but aren’t sure whether it will work or not, freewriting is a good way to help you find it out. Additionally, if you already know your topic freewriting would help you come up with additional ideas.


Freewriting means what its name suggests: writing without constraint. According to Wikipedia, "Freewriting 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".

The practice of freewriting eliminates these obstacles and allows a writer to generate creativity.

Reanna,
That was great and I am going to try that. Not worrying about editing can keep your mind focused on what you are writing about.
Thank you,
Bobby

Thnx R, interesting concept. It's funny. While I was reading, it gave me an idea - free audio writing - just voice recording your ideas vs writing. Dunno if it's feasible and is the same thing, but that's what came to find. Thnx for sharing as always.
