April 9, 2013: Freewriteception

Freewriting is the act of writing about whatever one wants.  It is great for encouraging creativity, for it allows students to do whatever they please with their assignment.  Creativity is good, and thus freewriting must also be good!  This assumption is only logical when you take into account the slow decline of creativity in students...at least, that's what I see, MOST of the time.  Thusly, I like freewrites and am freewriting about them!

When one freewrites, it gives a sense of freedom, free of any non-free assignments that suffocate and discourage freeness.  Freewriting makes it so that if you want to write about something, you can without worry of the authority coming down upon you.  It's truly writing free of outside intervention.  Free free free free free free free free free free.
