Freewriting

     Freewriting is something that is taken advantage of. It is an under rated and under appreciated method of writing that just provides the ability for you to clear your head. If you have no one to talk to about an issue, write it down. That is always a method to release some steam. It is almost as if you are ranting to someone and not just a piece of blank paper. However, I personally struggle with freewriting.

    It is something that is relatively easy to do, in a way. If you have an idea, then it is easy to just write your heart away, but what if you don't? It's difficult when you have nothing in your mind to write about. If you are tasked with a free write, and have nothing to write about, I personally do not see a point in free writing. When my mind is blank, and I attempt to think of ideas, I find that it just becomes blanker and blanker. Filled with less and less ideas, as there was not much to begin with, then I think about how I already wrote about a topic that is in my mind, then have no desire to write about it again. 

     I wonder if there is a way for me to combat this. I guess just not caring and writing about what I don't want to any way. Maybe while doing so, I will find something new. Freewriting is something I hope to continue to do. It has previously been a place to not just let of steam, as mentioned before, but find new ideas that I can bring to light.
