I do a lot of free writing, and it is a very useful tool. I also find the more I free write, the more I notice improvement in my writing. Like they say- Practice makes Perfect. So I definitely recommend Freewriting.
I have been wanting to see an anime film on the big screen. As soon as I saw Princess Mononoke advertised on their website I had to go. AMC had been playing other Studio Ghibli films.
As writing practice I write wrestling and fighting fiction on Deviantart under the name Fatehound45. It helps to write something totally unrelated to my WIP.
