@kilbride I've said it before: a freewrite is anything that comes to mind. Hemingway used to start the day with a blank sheet in his typewriter and he would just write anything that came to mind. Then he was throw it away. I think sometimes that is the best freewrite because it is spontaneous and rough. Sometimes, my scratches end up as something more much later. And sometimes, I already get a story in my head and just write it.
