Free Writing

[Aspiringwriter]

Do any of you do this? I started by doing morning pages (as per The Artist's Way)
I've just begun free writing using prompts I've found online. I'm on my third day of setting a timer for 15 minutes. It's certainly helped with writer's block.
I only write for fun though of course I dream of writing a best seller one day!
Has anyone else done this, and if so, do you find it helpful. And has it improved your writing?

I kind of work this way sometimes, I find it a good way of getting the cogs moving. Often if I do it I recall small and seemingly insignificant events or people from my life which I realise can be used and developed into stories or characters.
