RE: Freewrite is Not Writing for Publishing

in #freewrite7 years ago

Absolutely 100% agree!
It saddens me tremendously to see this attitude you're describing. Not only in what people label 'freewrites', but also in so-called 'philosophy' or 'poetry', that are nothing but mind-dumps. Publishing those things on a public scale like on steem (besides maybe in comment-sections), is not only a waste of a good beginning, as you say, but also disrespectful.

Sort:  

It is disrespectful to those who work to put out quality writing. We all can't be writing giants but there are at least a basic level that any reasonably articulate writer can get to. The real unfortunate part of the practice is that those who are just beginning don't realize, freewrites are exercise not a writing form.
