Write without stopping for a set time, without judgment. No erasing, no editing, no censorship.
Set a timer for 5–10 minutes. Write without interruption. If stuck, write 'I don't know what to write' until a new thought comes.
Freewriting bypasses the inner critic. All obstacles are in the head — freewriting opens them.
Peter Elbow popularized freewriting in the 1970s.
