    Is this a way to get over writer's block?

    Yes. It can help get over writer's block. Just write what you feel like. If this does not help, you can read to get inspiration or come up with some little details or some lists for random topics.
  • Question
    Can you list some things we could freewrite about?
    Community Answer
    It is hard to determine what you might personally want to write about, as that's truly personal to your interests. However, general areas in which you might be inspired include: Emotions, moments of realization in your life, favorite things, animals, nature, gaming, travel, role models, dreams, food, future hopes, and so on.
  • Question
    What is a good amount of time to free write for?
    Community Answer
    There is no set time, as free writing is not something to be confined by a deadline. The best advice is to write for as long as the creativity flows with ease and when it starts to feel hard and no longer interesting, that's the moment to stop.
  • Question
    Can I write something without a certain theme and just let my thoughts flow to wherever they go?

    When I'm freewriting, should I create titles for stories and topics?

    You don't have to, but if you plan to turn it into a full story, it's a good idea.
  • Question
    Is it okay if I use a "voice to text" function on my computer? I don't type well. I did a story of my life that way, and I felt free to babble on.
    Community Answer
    Yes, of course. You just might want to go back through and edit your content later, especially if you tend to "babble on."

    Community Answer
    Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown. This loss of ability to write and produce new work is not a result of commitment problems or the lack of writing skills.
