🎯 The rickywriter freewriting game

  • The built-in game allows you to gamify the practice of freewriting and helps you plough through your first drafts or write what's on your mind and what needs to be said. The game helps you get the words out, by helping people overcome the concept of writer's block and other psychological blockages that hold a person back from putting the words on the page.
  • Gameplay
  • You start with three lives. You can receive extra lives. And you lose lives if you stop typing for too long; you gain points for word count and time spent writing. If you lose all your lives, the game is over, but you get to keep what you've written. It shows you your score and records your high score. The goal is to beat your that score or score above a certain amount before stopping, or even just to keep writing for as long as you are able. After losing a life, the game will not start again until you once again start typing.
  • What is freewriting?
  • "Freewriting is a technique in which the author writes their thoughts quickly and continuously, without worrying about form, style, or even grammar. Alongside brainstorming, freewriting is typically used early in the writing process to collect and manifest one's thoughts." - Grammarly Blog.
  • The goal of freewriting is to get you as a writer to practice your craft and put in the time. Freewriting is not about writing the perfect sentence, it's about capturing your flow of thought without the interruptions of worrying about proper grammar or spelling mistakes or saying things exactly the right way. It gives you permission to write rubbish.
  • It's what writing a first draft should be about. Dumping your thoughts on a subject or getting down a story onto the page, as to be later crafted through editing into something worth reading. Some people edit while they write, but it should be about keeping up with the thought process and capturing all the ideas and narratives that start flowing when you kick into gear and start typing.
  • "The water doesn't flow until the tap is turned on!" — Louis L'Amour.
  • Freewriting frees you up to make mistakes which can make you a better, more thorough and ultimately more prolific writer. It's not about perfection, it's about allowing yourself to find your flow as a writer. Even if that means writing complete rubbish, or nonsense, it's still writing! Which is a whole lot more productive than staring at a blank screen.

About 🪶rickywriter

  • rickywriter has three writing functions; the first function is for drafting, with its small visible window, draft mode is about getting the words in your head onto the page, rather than having the focus on the words already written.
  • The second is the game function which ties in with draft mode, but with the built-in game function activated, you can gamify your writing practice. You can plough through first drafts, or practise freewriting and write whatever comes to mind while you get better at your craft.
  • The third and final function, editor mode, is for editing your work, the built-in editor opens fullscreen so you can focus on the words you've already written. That's when you can start crafting your crap into something special.
  • It's perfectly fine to draft your work in editor mode also!

Using this app as a daily journal

  • This idea is to not keep your daily journal entries saved inside this app but to use the same diary document every day, then save each diary entry into your writing folder as a text file before clearing that entry in your diary document as to be used the following day in the same process.

The 3 Modes

  • Drafter: Power Through
  • Effortlessly crank out first drafts with the Letterbox Drafter. Stay focused on the next word, not what’s already on the page. In Drafter Mode, distractions disappear—Zen Focus hides everything but the Letterbox Drafter and your outline.
  • Freewriting Game: Break Through
  • Shatter writer's block with Game Mode. Feel the pressure as you pour your soul into the Letterbox Drafter. Every word counts—keep writing, or lose a life.
  • Editor: Craft Your Masterpiece
  • Elevate your work in Editor Mode. After pouring out your ideas in the Letterbox Drafter, refine them into something extraordinary in the distraction-free, Grammarly-compatible fullscreen editor.
