Years ago I belonged to a writers' club and used to do a lot of those exercises, but it was more writing exactly what popped into our heads with no mind to grammar or continuation of thought. In fact we were told not to think at all. Lol! Sometimes it was just words strung together. It was meant only as an exercise. Then later on we would go back to those random ramblings and pick out things that could be written about. I actually wrote a novella in the end! I need to go back to it, as I know I need to make changes before doing anything with it!!

That is the idea behind the freewrite - but a lot of the "freewriters" are very new to this concept and not quite ready to let it fly. The ones with some writing background are freestyling. To me, it is most important that people enjoy themselves. For some, the complete free freewrite is still a bit too much - but hey, who knows, maybe in a few month, that has changed. If you look at @improv for example - freewriting it is. Glad you joined us.
