To do a freewriting exercise. by Peter Elbow

Freewriting

Freewriting is the easiest way to get words on paper and the best all-around practice in writing that I know.

To do a freewriting exercise, simply force yourself to write without stopping for ten minutes. Sometimes you will produce good writing, but that's not the goal. Sometimes you will produce garbage, but that's not the goal either.

You may stay on one topic, you may flip repeatedly from one to another: it doesn't matter.

Sometimes you will produce a good record of your stream of consciousness, but often you can't keep up.

Speed is not the goal, though sometimes the process revs

you up. If you can't think of anything to write, write about how that feels or repeat over and over "I have nothing to write" or

"Nonsense" or "No." If you get stuck in the middle of a sentence or thought, just repeat the last word or phrase till something comes along. The only point is to keep writing.

The Benefits of Freewriting

Freewriting makes writing easier by helping you with the root psychological or existential difficulty in writing: finding words in your head and putting them down on a blank piece of paper.

So much writing time and energy is spent not writing: wondering, worrying, crossing out, having second, third, and fourth thoughts. And it's easy to get stopped even in the middle of a piece.

Freewriting helps you learn to write when you don't feel like writing. It is practice in setting deadlines for yourself, taking

charge of yourself, and learning gradually how to get that special energy that sometimes comes when you work fast under pressure.

Finally, and perhaps most important, freewriting improves your writing. It doesn't always produce powerful writing itself, but it leads to powerful writing.
