    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.

    Can I write something without a certain theme and just let my thoughts flow to wherever they go?

  • 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."
