So, here is the tactic when it comes to freewriting. Set your timer and just go.
It could go like this - Paint, I have no idea what to say about paint because I don't like to paint and I don't like paintings. so, I am going to write about trees.....
or even start writing: I don't know what to write, I don't know what to write......
And before you know it, something pops into your brain. Then you just go with it. The trick is not to stop and to think. That is what gets us into trouble. Then we start judging ourselves....
And if the result is something you don't want to be a post on your profile, just post it as a comment here....
And you are right. You are at count 1 - and that is a wonderful start. Before you know it, you will be in the over 20 club :)
That's a great tactic! It's something I often forget, since I created fully-fleshed out stories before. I feel like I'm letting myself down if I create something beneath what I did before. But, this is my year of being resilient, so I need to loosen up and just let the words flow. Thanks for the reminder!
You are welcome. And freewrites are for letting go - they can be the beginning of a fully fleshed out story, but the idea really is to be spontaneous, to just write and surprise ourselves with what our crazy minds might come up with lol
If you would get a chance to read my cracker one, you'd be surprised to find that it's already a fully fleshed out story hahahaha! I guess the ideas flowed for me there when I was trying to just let loose.
I will. I try to read them all and vote on them all. I am just behind and now have to go and do some real life stuff.
I will leave you a comment :)
Thanks for stopping by my story! :D
