Guidelines
First Part of Writers Forum: Just Write!
Relax into your chair. Escort your inner critic out the door.
There is no such thing as "perfect writing" with freewrites. It’s all good.
This is the place to feel free to write whatever is on your mind.
Your writing doesn’t have to make sense. Don’t worry about how it will sound.
Keep your pen moving.
See your story and tell it.
Second Part of Jumpstart: Reading and Responding
Reading a freewrite aloud enriches the writing experience.
How to respond to the reading: Mention what resonates, what is strong, and memorable about the writing.
There is no judging, no critiquing, no questions asked for clarification.
With this type of freewriting, we are writing for ourselves, not for an audience nor for the entertainment of others.
“Writing isn’t about the destination – writing is the journey that transforms the soul and gives meaning to all else.” —Sue Grafton
