What is a freewrite?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Writing freely, with no thoughts nor worries about the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are free to write the truth as you know it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use freewrites to create fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write from your own experience, write about what happened to someone else, or respond to the prompt as your fictional character would respond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have a fictional character? Maybe this is the time to create a character.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to use the prompts<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Click on \u201cPrompts.\u201d  Choose a prompt. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes. Write, using the prompt as an inspirational start to your writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you write, don\u2019t think and don\u2019t plan what you will write next. Go with the moment\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not the time for the critic<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Leave your inner critic outside the door. Shrug off the editor that sits on your shoulder. Keep your pen moving, your fingers flying across the keyboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write whatever comes into your mind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can edit, revise, tweak your writing later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, Just Write!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you get stuck<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

If you can\u2019t think what to write next, either write the prompt and continue writing, or write, \u201cWhat I really want to say.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See where your hand takes you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your writing doesn\u2019t have to make sense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Write what you want<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The aim is to burn through first thoughts. Say what you want to say. Don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s correct, polite, or appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thoughts have tremendous energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thoughts are the way the mind flashes on something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your hand moving, even if you think you have nothing to say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write whatever is on your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the place to feel free to practice writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
