academic writing - When using freewriting, should I avoid correcting typos?


My university recommends Freewriting to all its postgraduate students as a daily exercises to help overcome writer's block.



I tend to make terrible typos, possibly related to my disgraphia. missing keys, all keys offset by one position, just plain being bad at spelling etc.


Normally when writing I will fix a lot of these instinctively -- without even thinking about it I will hit back space a few times and fix it.



  • Should I be doing that when freewriting?

  • Should I just leave a space and write on?

  • Should I fully disable the backspace, delete and arrow keys to force myself out of the habit?
