WRITING

Free writing is a prewriting technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic. It produces raw, often unusable material, but helps writers overcome blocks of apathy and self-criticism. It is used mainly by prose writers and writing teachers.[1][2] Some writers use the technique to collect initial thoughts and ideas on a topic, often as a preliminary to formal writing. Free writing is not the same as automatic writing.

Unlike brainstorming where ideas are simply listed, in freewriting one writes sentences to form a paragraph about whatever comes to mind.

Techniques and strategies

Pre-writing brainstorms can take many forms, including roughly drawn graphic organizers. 

• using free mental associations that might eventually lead to written notes or outlines
• creating a personal inventory of interests and fascinations, likes and dislikes
• conducting online or print catalog searches using keywords and questions
• using the inductive or deductive reasoning process to identify a manageable topic
• reading a text that addresses a similar topic; perhaps reading the table of contents, index, and chapter headings and subheadings to gain insight on the topic
• creating a uniform set of questions to be answered about a topic (e.g. the “five Ws and an H” model: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?)
• writing handwritten notes — organized or disorganized — on a note card, on paper, or in electronic form
• writing a preliminary outline — formal or informal — about the intended topic and subtopics

Access to printing was once relegated to the world of commercial enterprises — typically office supply companies, photocopying shops, newspaper printing presses, and large publishing houses where books, magazines, and journals were published. Eventually, libraries, post offices, and school and home computers provided public access to printing. Today, a child can print a document using a computer printer and then display or distribute it to his peers, parents, or teacher. Printing no longer exclusively means a bound glossy document that is distributed to the public.

Publishing happens when teachers post student work on the walls of the classroom, when parents post that same work on the kitchen refrigerator, when students post their work on social web sites, or when graffiti artists post their work on the sides of buildings and subway cars.

The progress of technology means that publishing will continue to expand in meaning and public access. Just as vanity presses are available to the general public, so too are publishing opportunities available to those who are willing and able to pay the price for private publishing.

Technological advances also mean that publishing no longer needs to result in a tangible product. E-books are increasingly common, both because of economic concerns and because of ecological concerns. And for a generation of students who are familiar with the electronic, graphically enhanced word, electronic publishing may soon become the norm. Certainly, the choice between carrying a small disk and carrying an 800-page textbook may soon become a no-brainer for future students and their teachers.

Publishing for English teachers and students means the completion of the cyclical writing process for a specific product. National teaching and English language arts standards typically address the importance of displaying student work in a public manner. In this context, publication is a means of validating the student and the student’s work and of publicizing the teaching and learning activities for others to see and possibly imitate. Publishing might not result in a student’s having a career in writing, but it can affect the student’s sense of accomplishment.
