Me vs. resisting the urge to search for writing prompts again today. It is so tempting to go to them. Searching online for "writing prompts" is the surest way to get so far away from actually getting any free writing done.
Took a moment to think about what I would do if I had to free write on drums. I'd start with a simple beat, loop it, and let it naturally morph into something.
So I tried that with the free writing and it worked so well. Took a simple phrase with a blank in it, repeated it, and filled in the blank. I looped...

I got 750 words of free writing done the quickest I have ever done it. It felt more like free writing too.
