Free Writing


So, I am trying free writing in order to improve on my writing skills and hopefully be better at expressing my thoughts. This actually seems to be working. When just rambling on without any clear direction or underlying purpose words do flow easily from my head into my hands. I also noticed that not correcting the writing until it is done helps. It seems that the fewer the interruptions during the writing the better. As a result, I find myself not looking at my writing but rater just focus on my thoughts. Then, I just go over the paper later as a whole and make all the needed corrections. In the book that shows how to free write is an exercise where one is suppose to focus on sensations that occurred during an important event in the past and then free write about it. I loved that exercise. It brought back some great memories from my childhood when I used to go swimming in the wild North Sea. Words just poured out onto the screen. Thank you for bringing the great memories back and for the great tool that will help me writing.
