Free-writing
Free-write technique: This is a type of brain storming. This is my own basic writing
technique, one I learned when teaching writing to high school students, one I
use almost daily:
Ask
yourself a question, write it down then start writing everything that comes to
mind. Do not edit yourself before writing. Focus on words and phrases. Do not
try to write in full sentences.
1. Old Photos
Look at the picture and write all the words that come to
mind. Do not write full sentences—write just words and phrases. Keep writing
until time is up.
2. Chose a person you have been researching. Write down their name and
then write the question: Why does this person interest me? Start
writing and keep writing until time is up.
3. Chose a person you have been researching. Write down their name and
then write the question: What is the story I see in this person’s
life? Start writing and keep writing until time is up.
