KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL FREEWRITING ◆ Resist the temptation to look back at what you have written during the process.
◆ If you can’t stay on topic, keep writing anything to maintain the flow.
◆ Do not censor yourself; your freewriting is not going to be seen by others, so
commit every thought to paper.
◆ Follow your ideas wherever they lead you.
◆ When finished, read your freewriting with a highlighter, noting the most interesting
and strongest ideas.
◆ Try the process again after you have focused your topic; more ideas may be
generated.
