Typing is a lot like freewriting it seems, now that I am trying to type and write at the same time, without giving either of those two tasks much thought. I have to trust and let go.
I wonder how folks wrote in ages long gone by, before typewriters, or when only scribes could even write. I imagine that was laborious work, writing like a scribe. They had more time to get their thoughts clear before they wrote them down, or while they were writing them down.
When I freewrite, as I am doing now (can you tell?) I just sit and let the stories tell themselves. It's helpful to know how to type (thank you educational norms in the sixties). If I had lots of time to think about the stories because I was hand writing them like an ancient scribe, they wouldn't be as good, as surprising. Stillborn even.
That's why I freewrite. For the surprises.
So typing is the same thing. Somehow, by magic, most of the right keys are struck.
This is my entry to 
Sometimes I just can't wait to start writing and I don't take the time to set the timer. This was one of those times. When it felt like five minutes were probably up, I stopped writing, then I went back to proofread without changing content. That's it. That's how I roll on these freewrites. I let them rip. But that doesn't mean they only take me five minutes to produce. I write madly for 5 minutes, yes, but the entire process for publishing one of these takes me a good half hour.
For those who think freewrites are a waste of time, to both write and to read, please give it a go.
