Well would you look at this. A free went group. What would you say if I told you that all I do is freewrite - to a degree. I set a timer and I write for what ever set amount of time had been selected. It started because of an injury that affected my short term memory. I found it hard to recall things after short absences of thought. I had to write notes but that only helped when there was context. Which led to notes about notes. I've been writing for about 15 years. Be for the injury I could have 10 stories on the go at once in my heard. There was a 2 year gap where I never wrote a thing. Then after an experience with ayuasca I had a vision of someone that had a stammer singing beautifully and another who had dystonia but their muscles relaxed when they ran. I came out of the trip picked up a pen an wrote 87 pages in 7 hours. Never breaking my train of thought. I just rambled and went on and on. The 87 pages were edited down to 45. And then 27. The story that remained is the best thing I've written and through doing it I've almost completely cured my slef of my memory problems.
We're at about 4:15 and I figured I'd tell you that everything I've just said was a complete lie. Or maybe it wasnt. Does that even matter. Does any of this. I'm feeling pretty free now.

You are in the drawing 😄 Lie or no lie, that was a pretty good story! and as my husband says: "All Writers are liars." You are in excellent company here. and if it was the truth - good for you!!!
Awesome! Thanks guys - Good luck to everyone else. The day I cashed my first check ($25 ) related to writing fiction my dad called and said congratulations now you're a "Professional lair". It felt really good. Might be my favorite memory of him.
I have to point out for the record. Ive got huge fingers and a tiny phone - auto correct is the devil. The first line lol come on.
Also I really think it's awesome that you took the time to write personal responses to everyone. Very kind.
Hahaha, yes, that's a bit strange opening, but it evokes (?) attention, I enjoyed reading your post. :) Good luck to you too!
I saw it lol. That kind of thing happens to me all the time 😁
