Freewriting is a technique in which the author writes their thoughts quickly and continuously, without worrying about form, style, or even grammar. Alongside brainstorming, freewriting is typically used early in the writing process to collect and manifest one’s thoughts. The resulting writing is usually not intended for the final draft.

My version of freewriting usually occurs when my characters are just standing around, waiting for me to write. I start writing outside my style and way outside the established story. They get ticked off at what I’m having them do, so they stark talking to me, I delete what I wrote, and we all continue the story. I have over 20 published works, so it works for me.

enough already, again

Like this? It is as ignorant of spelling etc. as I could make it: grrvubio. ihuib. rw g klnv. rrr. rwq hjjuyre hj awqbmvdg kooop wecvbasas zxfghjk weuooiiiertyuio!

Also known as “the Weave.”

That’s how Jack Kerouac wrote “On the Road.” But he needed a lot more blocks.

LOL!!!!!!

My version of free writing is just making things up as I go.
