Free writing in 3 steps
1. Completely clear your head. Take a deep breathe and relax.
2. Don’t concern yourself with the rules of grammar. (Very important)
3. Write your heart out for 10 minutes.
The free writing procedure
» Set a fixed time for writing.
» The recommended times are 5, 10, or 15 minutes.
» Once the time is completed stop writing.
» After you are done go back and read the writing slowly. As you read, highlight some of the key points. These points may be used for later topics.
Helpful #tips
» Once you start the time it’s time to write!
» Even if you have to write, “ I have no idea what I am typing”, get the thought out.
» As time goes on you will become better at shaping the X minutes into a single idea.
» Remember to ignore spelling and grammar mistakes.
» Set a schedule for yourself, daily or weekly are two good examples.
The point here is to free your mind, not to write the next epic odyssey.
