Maybe I'm making up a new term—but I think it might be just what I need for my blog. And since I'm not very disciplined in this genre, I'll just use this "free" space to freewrite a bit—or rather free-blog.

Does anyone out there freewrite much? I use this form of writing to try to overcome writer's block at times. I also freewrite for a emotional outlet—a sort of freewriting therapy. Forget about grammar and mechanics for awhile and "just write"! So, if anyone wants to comment on how they use freewriting, I'd be interested to see if they've combined their freewriting skills with blogging.

I can't fail to mention my blessings here—since this is the primary purpose of this blog. But freewriting continues to be a blessing to me. When my emotions are out of control, or when I'm stuck in my writing projects— freewriting is my means of escape. It helps me press pass the cobwebs in my mind and see things from a different perspective.

I'm amazed that after just a few minutes of freewriting, I'm able to view my thoughts more objectively. And sometimes I just rip out the page I've just written and shred it (or delete it). [Obviously, some of my freewriting doesn't need to be read by another human being.]

What is freewriting? I just put the pen or pencil to the paper (or fingers to the keyboard) and write. I usually don't even know what I'm going to write until after I write it. Sound weird? Why don't you try it?

So, what is free-blogging? Well, this is what it is for me—for what it's worth—a kind of "show, and not tell" illustration for some of you other bloggers out there.

Any comments? Can anyone relate? Any connections out there?
