Freewriting
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
Freewriting is about writing whatever you are thinking without getting caught up with grammar or spelling. It is just about letting what is inside of you out onto the page (or screen) and exploring it.

Freewriting
Simple, huh?
Step 1: Set a timer for 10 or 20 minutes (you will be surprised how fast it goes)
Step 2: Start writing!
And don’t stop – if you don’t know what to write, then write “I don’t know what to write…”
If you get stuck you can just keep repeating something until something comes (and it will) or ask yourself questions, like, “why?”
