Free Writing & Structured Writing


SHORT SNIPPETS FOR WRITERS

From the perspective of purpose & utility, there are two kinds of writing processes that writing can be divided into.

FREE WRITING and STRUCTURED WRITING. 

Both of these serve equal and equally significant utility in producing a wholesome piece of writing.

While Free Writing enables the writer to just put down the words and material on the paper or document, Structured Writing polishes the material into stylistic wrapping & a storystyle structure, which makes the piece equally relevant to the reader.

Free Writing is essential to exercise our mind’s capabilities like that of creativity and imagination, and it can be practiced by anyone whether they’re a writer or not, whilst Structured Writing involves the core skill of writing that writers need to learn and practice in order to become a writer in the first place.

Free writing is also known as:

  • Automatic Writing
  • Stream of consciousness writing
  • Interior Monologue
  • Morning Pages, Journaling or Brain Dump (in general terms)

Structured writing varies highly on:

  • Type of Content
  • Form of Writing
  • Specific Technical Structure
  • Specific set of syntactical and semantical rules
