This process can be a useful one if you are truly starting from scratch and are not even sure what you want to write your paper about. Free writing is traditionally regarded as a prewriting technique practiced in academic environments, in which a person writes continuously for a set period. NOTE: In Peter Elbow's original formulation of freewriting, designed to generate not only ideas but even a topic, the writer writes for a few minutes, chooses one idea or word from that freewriting and then freewrites about that new topic for several minutes, and then repeats that process again, successively refining their topic.DO keep going for 15 or 20 minutes or until you feel you have enough to start to build your paper or research on.DO feel free to use an occasional word from your native language if you can't think of the English word, but don't overdo this.If you can’t think of anything, just keep repeating your subject (e.g., “busy trap, busy trap”) or something like “I’m waiting for ideas to come and they will, I’m waiting for ideas to come and they will,” over and over until they do come. DO write in sentence and paragraph form.DON'T worry about correct grammar or spelling.DO write down every idea you can think of about your topic, no matter how "crazy" you can judge later! (And no one else is going to see it).helps to increase fluency second-language learners-i.e., the ability to produce written language easily (as opposed to accuracy, which is of course important but which is better addressed later in the process).increases the flow of ideas and reduces the chance that you’ll accidentally censor a good idea.Only in the end will you know what you are saying.” -Peter Elbowįreewriting, a writing strategy developed by Peter Elbow in 1973, is similar to brainstorming but is written in sentence and paragraph form without stopping. “The consequence is that you must start by writing the wrong meanings in the wrong words but keep writing until you get to the right meanings in the right words.
