Prewriting: Freewriting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Freewriting consists of focused but informal writing about the topic at hand. There are four important rules to this activity:

Write for a short, specified time (5, 10, 15 minutes).
Keep your hand moving. Don't stop writing until the time is up. If you're having trouble finding the right word, draw a line and keep going, or use a less than perfect word in its stead: you can always go back and fix it later. If you can't think of anything to say, just keep writing you last word, or your name, or "I'm stuck" over and over again: the words will come.
Turn off the internal editor, the one who tells you to go back and dot that "i" and cross that "t," tells you that this or that idea is stupid, or tells you that you've just written a run-on sentence or fragment.
When the specified time is up, go back over the text and circle the surprises and draw arrows connecting ideas or themes: identify those passages/ideas/phrases that should carry over into your text.
Follow the writing; find out what you have to say by just saying it (on paper). Feel free to change topics or areas of focus, but try to follow the writing where it wants to go. Trust yourself and your writing.

Pros: Freewriting is a terrific memory stimulator. This activity reminds you of what we already know and helps you to make connections you might not otherwise make. It helps you to get past the sterile, static, surface responses so that you can burn through to the insightful and fresh "meat" of what you really want to say.
Cons: Freewriting is a time-consuming activity and does not guarantee brilliant results. It is possible to achieve only a clear idea of what you don't want to write.

here I go again- Writing,writing to find something to write about. my cat? The importance of recycling? what i'd do if i were president? i've written about that stuff a million times-lots of other stuff too. Any topics left? Sure doesn't feel like it. Think i am all written out by now. but got to come up with something. my teachers says any word,any object,anything i can make you think of subject.All right try same words,,, plant,light pulb,glue,enemy,stormy,crowd-audience...
it doesn't make sense,huh?
let me see your words, what you got??

Question about my cat!?
Okay so heres the problem, theres two of them. So my cat throws up all the time! Like 5 times or so a week. It's not a hairball, he eats plastic all the time then throws it up. Is there a way to make him stop eating it? Or a way to make him throw up in his litterbox and the the capet?
My other question might sound kind of strange. I always wanted to walk my cat. I got him a leash and he just sits down outside and does nothing. Is there a way to make him walk (besides dragging him).

you may give your cat some food. haha
it must be hungry

hey zeynep
what's the time there
here is 1934
guess where i am

I am writing about my favorite game that is Basketball.

Basketball itself have the meaning that "put the ball in the basket."Basketball is very interesting game,having two teams playing at one time in the court,each team having five players.This game consist of four quarters each of 10 minutes,the players have to put maximum baskets in the given time according to the rules of the game.
I love it because everytime there is an anxiousty to give the best so myteam wins and keeps the full body active.
