Talk:Free writing

Twitter Favoritism?
The "Evolution of free blogging from early 2000's to now" section appears to be biased towards Twitter, almost coming off as an advertisement for the site. The sentences in question being, " For any thought that you want to share with the world Twitter has become the medium for such a thing as well as being able to connect with a large number of people at any time" and "Twitter currently holds on top for one of the largest bases of users actively writing and sharing their thoughts to the world furthering change how we free write.". These are not needed to understand the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ailurophobic (talk • contribs) 15:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Note
I will be separating Free writing from Automatic writing and creating a separate article. Address any comments to my desk. Alphabeter 00:15 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Its done. Different concepts (even there is so much confusion in general view). Wikidās ॐ 16:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Freeblogging be merged into Free writing. I think that the content in the Freeblogging article can easily be explained in the context of Free writing, and the Free writing article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of Freeblogging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. 82.215.38.246 (talk) 11:32, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. I see no point in maintaining these as separate articles. ThreeOfCups (talk) 20:28, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I also agree. It looks like this page was made with the intent of advertising that questionable looking website in the external links section. Wethilio (talk) 00:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Goldberg's four rules
Aside from the wordy repetition of "often," this sentence suggests that four rules will follow, but more than four bullet points are listed:


 * Here are the essential rules that are often formulated for the beginners or students, often a paraphrase of Natalie Goldberg's "Rules for Free Writing," [7][8] often referred as Natalie Goldberg's first four rules of writing:[9][10]

Referencing mistakes
I've spotted some corrections in the page. Reference 10 and 11 ("The Thesis Journey: Travelling with Charley" and ("Guided writing and free writing") should be removed or changed. Reference 10 does not even relate to the paragraph it was linked at. Reference 11 seems to be a mistake that someone forgot to edit out because it looks similar to reference 12.

 * ✅ Replaced ref 10 with a cn tag; I could see some faint connection for source 10 if I stretched my imagination enough, but that's certainly WP:SYNTH anyway. Removed ref 11 as requested. Liu1126 (talk) 01:11, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 April 2024
2001:4930:172:25:209E:8FDF:DD99:6E6F (talk) 17:39, 10 April 2024 (UTC) In the age of AI, free writing's importance has continued to take precedence. However complete and sophisticated AI content might be, it is slated to contain some elements of misinformation, disinformation, and cross-pollinating conspiracy theories. AI content needs constant human oversight, though it is undeniably true that AI exists not to replace but to augment human intelligence and creativity. Since AI's generative process cannot/should not escape human oversight, it makes sense to consider AI content part of free writing, let's say, part of focused free writing. In terms of linguistic expression, logical ordering, organization, and structure, text generated by AI may be tempting and fabulous. Still, in terms of linguistic justice, clarity of ideas, accuracy of fact, and honesty of overall precision, there will always be a basis for skepticism, interrogation, critical reflection, and hesitation. Thus, it is good to treat a written substance arising from our interaction with AI as a part of pre-writing, freewriting, brainstorming, and many other activities in a preliminary phase of ideation and expression.
