A pre-writing technique where you write continuously without stopping for a set amount of time, without worrying about grammar, spelling, or content.
Here's why:
* Continuous: The key is to keep your pen moving or fingers typing, even if you feel like you're repeating yourself or writing nonsense.
* Unedited: Don't worry about making mistakes or crafting perfect sentences. The goal is to get your ideas flowing.
* Time Limit: Free writing is often done for a specific amount of time, like 5 or 10 minutes.
* Purpose: The purpose is to explore your thoughts and generate ideas, not to produce polished writing.
Free writing can be helpful for:
* Overcoming writer's block: It can help you break through mental barriers and get your creative juices flowing.
* Brainstorming: It can help you generate ideas for essays, stories, articles, or even just daily tasks.
* Self-discovery: It can help you explore your thoughts and feelings on a particular topic.
