I didn't even know what a freewrite was until I read about it on @mariannewest's blog. I decided to give it a try and I was hooked. Reading what others write using the same word still blows my mind and I have been blown away at times with what I wrote. I say, "Whoa! Where did that come from?" I stuck to the 5 minute rule like glue at first, but now that goes out the window when I want to finish my story. I never read a freewrite with a new prompt until after I write mine because I don't want my mind to be swayed. I want it to be completely open, and I always polish after I am finished. By reading @deaconlee's freewrites, I copied 2 things that I liked. When I go over 5 minutes I write, "Disclaimer: This took me more than 5 minutes to write," and I put the prompt in bold letters in each story. Thanks @deaconlee for the neat tips and thanks @mariannewest for letting us be FREE in every sense of the word. Try it and you will see, what it is like to write, when you are completely free. : )
