Whether you get stuck in the prewriting phase or in the middle of a draft, free write! Free writing is what you’d write if you could get away with anything and everything. This technique taps into your subconscious without your Inner Critic and Self-Editor hanging around. Free writing allows you to riff on words, phrases, and ideas like a jazz musician. Free writing unjams your idea seeds and helps you find that one golden nugget needed to solve a problem. Free writing dives deep into the emotional realms to help sculpt a story or idea more deeply and authentically.
In free writing, there are no rights or wrongs. This technique allows your brain to play with words on the page. Like other writing techniques, practice makes progress.
