I have had freewriting assignments in English classes and in writing seminars. It was presented as a tool to brainstorm ideas and perhaps find some good tidbits to explore. I have not made it a part of my daily writing exercises until now. Today I followed the prompt to freewrite about potatoes. Although I didn’t come up with any earthshattering ideas, (just a little craving for mashed potatoes) – I was able to knock off 122 words from my daily word count goal. That is a win in my book.

Many of us encountered free writing for the first time in school or in a writing class. It is such a powerful tool. As you write with us, you will see very soon that most use the freewrite as a starting point for all kinds of creative endeavors. Glad that you are writing with us.
