What Is Free Fall Writing?

Free Fall Method of Writing

The free fall method of writing encourages the writer to write without editing as they go. That editorial instinct, common to most writers, can be tempting but also time-consuming and counter productive.

W.O. Mitchell’s free fall method encourages writers to switch off their inner editor and just write as the thoughts come into their minds, relying on sensory information and memories. The writer can edit after the piece is finished, but during the process, it is essential that the writer does not revise his or her work.

What Makes Us Unique?

AWCS offers three sessions of classes per year for adults. The small class sizes allow for more in depth focus on your own work. In addition, each student participates in critiquing other writers work and in turn having their own work critiqued. After all, who is a better judge of what works and is engaging than other writers. Don’t forget, we all read books before we became writers.

At the end of each session we offer all students the opportunity to read their work in front of an audience of other writers, friends and family. This is a great chance to meet other writers, network and just have fun.
