An Article and an Offer

I came across this article on freewriting. My take is that she doesn't think it is a good idea to post the freewrites but to polish them up first. Well, most of you already do that and I think you all fix spelling and all of that.
I do like her point to take a freewrites ever so often and develop it into a longer story. Again, many of you already do that anyway. But I wanted to let you know about this article and you can make up your own mind what you think.

If you do want to work on your pieces and need some help, the writers in the Isle of Write discord welcome you all to use the fiction fjord to get some feedback. They all are really nice!!
