1. Freewriting: This is a stream of consciousness technique where you write non-stop for a set amount of time (usually 5-10 minutes) without worrying about grammar, spelling, or making sense. The goal is to generate ideas and explore your thoughts without judgment.
2. Brainstorming: This involves generating as many ideas as possible related to your topic, without censoring yourself. You can use lists, mind maps, or other visual methods to organize your thoughts.
These are just two examples, and there are many other prewriting techniques available. The best approach will depend on your individual writing style and the specific task at hand.
