Free writing helps me to break out of writer's block and allows my thoughts to wander, creating new and different ideas. I see it every day in my life with just a few free writing prompts I have done like what good writing is to me. Freewriting lends a hand to me to get my thoughts on paper and come up with new ideas. Until then I did not think of what good writing is but with only five minutes and a lot of repetitive words and spelling errors, I was able to answer the question for me. It inspires new ideas I would not think of otherwise it is liberating now. At first, it intimidated me, and I had to deal with internal obstacles I did not realize I had.

I tend to zone out and not feel like I need to worry about spelling or grammar

    526 Words  | 3 Pages

    I found that each form of writing allowed me to express myself in a different way, and I loved the challenge of trying to master each one. One of the things that I love about writing is that it allows me to escape into my own world. When I write, I can create anything that I want, and I am in control of the narrative. It is a form of escapism that is both therapeutic and cathartic. Another reason why I love writing is that it allows me to connect with others.
