Why Freewrite

Reading this article helps me to see how helpful freewriting really is in the development of ideas.  A lot of the time I find myself stuck, not knowing how to go forward and successfully get my point across in a paper. Freewriting is crucial in developing different ideas freely without distraction from the worry about organization and correct grammar.  The writer can discover his feelings and questions on a topic that can later be used as the basis for writing pieces.  By writing freely the raw thoughts and reactions of the writer are recorded, and the thought process can be seen.  When the freewrite is analyzed and looked over we can gather critical points and substantial ideas that delve much deeper than surface thinking, this could be extremely helpful to my writing. The effectiveness of freewriting is shown through all the teachers and professors who found it to be useful and helpful to their students.  Although some critics believe that freewriting causes students to become "suckers and powerless ", most people find that it helps far beyond relieving writer's block.
