PREWRITING - FREEWRITE
Free writing is a simple process that is the basis
for other discovery techniques. Basic free writingfollows these guidelines:
Write nonstop for a set period of time (5 - 10
minutes).
Do not make corrections as you write. Keep writing, even if you have to write something
like, "I don't know what to write."
Write whatever comes into your mind.
Do not judge or censor what you are writing.
Cartoon characters, movie characters, television
characters, novel characters, etc.

FREEWRITING EXAMPLE
My ultimate favorite cartoon character hasalways been Scooby Doo. I was obseesed withhim as a child. My bedroom was evendecorated in Scooby Doo. He came on at 5o’clock which is when my dad got home fromwork. He recorded every single episode for
me. I still have all of the VCR tapes. It sucksthat I haven’t found a way to convert them toDVd. Other characters that I enjoyedwatching were the smurfs. I always hatedSmurfetts; she’s just stupid. I really liked
Captain Caveman but more or less just whenhe shouted. I couldn’t stand Sesame Street.Those characters puppets were just weirdand kind of scary.
