RE: Freewrite is Not Writing for Publishing
Absolutely 100% agree!
It saddens me tremendously to see this attitude you're describing. Not only in what people label 'freewrites', but also in so-called 'philosophy' or 'poetry', that are nothing but mind-dumps. Publishing those things on a public scale like on steem (besides maybe in comment-sections), is not only a waste of a good beginning, as you say, but also disrespectful.
It is disrespectful to those who work to put out quality writing. We all can't be writing giants but there are at least a basic level that any reasonably articulate writer can get to. The real unfortunate part of the practice is that those who are just beginning don't realize, freewrites are exercise not a writing form.
