Alice Jolly says "Freewriting is a vital tool for total beginners but is equally useful for more experienced writers. Anyone can do it, anywhere.  It cures writer’s block and perennial procrastination.  It silences even the most vicious inner critic.  Just keep freewriting for a few months and you may find you’ve written a novel.  Come along and learn how to do it."
