Mullin seeks to determine whether freewriting lives up to claims made for it. Barbara W. Cheshire assesses the efficacy of freewriting. James W. Pennebaker checks the short- and long-term effects of freewriting on students’ emotional lives. Ken Macrorie notes that freewriting means being freed to use certain powers. Peter Elbow shows how authors use freewriting. Robert Whitney tells "why I hate to freewrite." Karen Ferro considers her own freewriting, showing how it leads to a deeper self-understanding.
