Freewriting
Your creative writing journey begins
At Bewilderness Writing, we use a guided, timed freewriting practice to uncover or rediscover your true voice on the page. Our community is a safe space where you can gain confidence and achieve your creative breakthrough.
Worried your writing isn’t good enough?
Leave your inner critic behind and start creating
Bewilderness Freewriting
In this writing group, we use the practice of freewriting to get you into a flow without being blocked by your inner critic. Get your thoughts on the page in a safe and sacred space free of judgment.
We start with a poetry prompt, set the timer, and write for 10-12 minutes. Everyone gets to read their piece while others listen. There is no discussion or critique. We’re here for a powerful and intimate writing practice that will help you gain momentum for whatever project is ahead.

“I have a notebook just for Bewilderness writings. It has a slick green cover, and college-ruled pages linked with fine black rings. I touch the paper, and it rustles my words back to me. When I started the notebook nearly 2 years ago, I never imagined all it would carry. The not-knowing is what I love the most about Bewilderness Writing. Every Tuesday, I wake with a smile on my face and wonder “what will I write today?”
