RE: What is a Freewrite? Tell Us Your Take and Win.
The five-minute freewrite is my first experience with freewriting. Without exaggeration, this exercise has completed changed my writing habits (and possibly my career)! My method:
- View prompt, get inspired for story, character, plot twist, or even just a setting
- Set my timer and write for five minutes
- Sometimes, I write beyond the dinging of the timer but sometimes, I must finish a story!
- Make sure there are no spelling, grammar, or formatting errors - but otherwise, no edits or embellishments.
- Find an image on Unsplash or from my photography archives to accompany the piece.
- Publish and let it rip!
I've now collected a list of literary journals, online fiction and essay-focused spaces, and a smattering of high-reaching writing opportunities for which I will prepare pieces! None of that would've happened without the freewrite community, which is part of the Isle of Write community, and now my new connection (through this freewrite) to the Writer's Block community.

You are in the drawing! We are so glad that the freewrite gave you the inspiration to reach far and high! Hopefully, you will come to the Freewrite House a lot. FYI. We are not associated with the Writer's Block - many of the freewriters are, but the Freewrite House is its own entity.
Oh my goodness @ameliabartlett! I've been planning to reach out to you for the past week from a recommendation from @borrowedearth! She was telling my husband, @freedompoint, and I about how you are converting a bus to a rv, which is what we are planning on doing! But what I think is fantastic, is that I found you here in the freewrites. Our process in how we freewrite is the same! I do want to check out picture site you referenced, I haven't heard about it before!
Hello there! Yes, reach out if you need any advice on bus conversion! I'm smack in the middle of one and learning more every day. 😂
