Free writing is a great way to practice writing from your heart. It’s a way to keep your inner editor quiet. To enjoy the creativity of writing.
Free writing is just putting pen to paper and writing whatever is on your heart, without hindering yourself. You can go in circles, shift gears, change directions. No restrictions. Just write.
Spring is a great time for free writing. Whether you’re sitting outdoors or observing through a window, you’ll find lots of inspiration in the beauty of spring.
You can describe colors, feelings, textures, sounds, memories. Whatever you feel inspired to write. Don’t edit, don’t delete, don’t put pressure on yourself. Just write.
Our writing prompt for this month: What I love most about spring is …
You can start with that prompt, if it helps, or create your own prompt. You can write about spring or something else.
Don’t overthink it. That’s why prompts can be helpful. You start by writing those first words, and then see where it takes you.
When you’re ready, set your timer for 15 minutes. Start by writing, What I love most about spring is … And then just keep writing till the timer goes off.
As a writer, your creativity will benefit by writing from your heart without self-editing. And your inspiration will grow as you spend time focusing on the beauty of spring.
