The second Freewriting Adventure: The Luneta Tour

2. Freewriting Adventures at Luneta on Aug. 3, 2013


The second Freewriting Adventure was actually our first outdoor adventure. The first was just a meet up inside a coffee shop, but for this one we encouraged writers to explore Rizal Park (Luneta Park). The meeting place was in front of the Rizal monument, and the adventure lasted from 10a.m. to 5p.m. Although it rained, our four participants were still willing to push through with the activities whenever the showers halted.

The first Freewriting Adventure

1. Starbucks Freewriting Adventure on July 6, 2013 at Katipunan

The first Freewriting Adventure was held at Starbucks Katipunan on July 6, 2013 from 10a.m. to 4p.m. Back then, I referred to it as a writer's meet up and hadn't called it Freewriting Adventures. I posted the announcement on my blog and created a Facebook event.

I didn't have a plan on what we'd do, but I brought Writing Down The Bones and Wild Mind by Natalie Goldberg and The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, which were books with many writing exercises. Hansky, one of the participants, brought his book The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp. We randomly chose the writing exercises from those books. Some of the exercises I invented on the spot.
