Freewriting

Freewriting is an invention activity that many writers may find useful or not useful. Writing usually goes better once you are warmed up. The hardest thing about writing is getting started. The first question that we ask ourselves is “Where to start?”
It is a useful activity because many writers figure that they don’t have to worry about the rules of Standard English. When I was freewriting I was writing for about 10 minutes I was just jotting down ideas about my topic. It is “Free” meaning that I turn off all my concerns about grammar, punctuation, spelling, and complete sentences that could make any sense. Freewriting is also useful cause once I was finished writing I was able to put all my thoughts together to form a good paper. I think Ms. Tyler for giving us the opportunity to use the class time to freewrite about our topic. Freewriting is another way of brainstorming your topic. Freewriting about your topic comes from off the top of my head.
Freewriting has absolutely no rules. Freewriting often is a series of disjointed ramblings that make little sense. This was a very useful activity. Some activity that I try to help me better enhance my writing skill wasn’t useful as freewriting.
