Write freely, relax your brain, and write creative inspirations

What is freewriting?

When you hear Free Writing (Free Writing), what do you think of?

Simply put, it’s a great way to free your mind! Just focus on a specific topic and write as fast as possible. When we write down various ideas with concentration, we often get unexpectedly good results, or great ideas that make people applaud!

In the early stages of writing, don’t be discouraged when you encounter obstacles.

At first glance, free writing seems cool, but is it a little different from traditional writing? Perhaps, some friends may secretly wonder: Isn’t writing a very serious matter? Can I really be as creative as I want?

Well, the answer is of course yes.

I have taught writing courses in the corporate world, the public sector, and universities. I have found that many friends who are new to writing usually encounter some bottlenecks and have gone through the following stages:

When I heard about writing, I was either afraid or lacked confidence. It took a lot of effort to prepare myself mentally, but as soon as I turned on the computer, I was always exhausted and exhausted. I was stuck frequently but couldn’t squeeze out a few words. So, I revised it over and over again while writing, and even after writing a few sentences at the beginning, I felt that the article was not on topic and did not meet my expectations… Not only did this wear away the enthusiasm for writing, but what was even worse was that the article could never be finished (https://www.contenthacker.today/2019/02/writing-to-express-a-viewpoint.html)!

Put aside the form, the ideas flow out from the tip of the pen

In fact, writing is not that complicated. You can think of free writing as a warm-up exercise before writing. In other words, when writing, don’t stick to the form, don’t worry about right or wrong, or think about editing or revising the article, but try to let all kinds of ideas flow out naturally through the tip of the pen.

Mark, the author of “Free Writing”. Levi once said: “Inspiration is not a talent, but a practice. As long as you can make good use of what is already in your mind, you can turn the raw materials of your thoughts into practical, even extraordinary ideas.”

What’s more interesting is that there is a law in the world of free writing: when you let down your guard and write a pile of garbage, the most creative ideas are often hidden in the garbage.

Therefore, when you start writing, you also embark on the journey of independent thinking. Through writing, not only can you think more carefully, but you can also tell a complete story. Thinking of the 6 online writing classes “Write Your Own Story” that I previously taught in “Orange Generation”, it seems to be verified.

When I started grading my classmates’ homework, I was surprised to find that my mature friends were all outstanding, including university department heads, kindergarten principals, and retired volunteers, who were shining brightly in their respective fields. But when everyone started writing, they still felt a little uneasy.

Plain words, write your own life chapter

Therefore, I encourage everyone to pour out the thoughts in their minds and write [life stories] in plain words (https://www.vistacheng.com/2021/06/the-road-to-writing.html). When your thoughts can fly without restrictions, you will naturally be able to write wonderful chapters of life! Nowadays, not only are people writing about their interests, but some are also trying to submit articles to the media!
