Free writing is an excercise that involves writing for a fixed period of time. It's called "free writing" because the exercise is intended to help the creative juices flow by eliminating concerns about what to write, grammatical perfection and other inhibiting factors. The key to free writing is to simply keep writing, even if you have no idea what to write--even if you have to write that you aren't really comfortable free writing and don't feel like you have anything to say. Keep the pen moving across the paper.
In some cases, you'll be surprised by the gem or two you find hidden in your free writing or you'll ramble your way into the beginning of something worth continuing later. But don't worry about those things; if you're aiming for them, then it won't be free writing at all.

I'm a Divorced Catholic, Can I Go to Church?
Yes. Please do.
First things first: you can ALWAYS go to church! Always.
There are circumstances under which you may not be able to take communion. If, for instance, your marriage was invalid and you haven't been to confession, or if you have remarried outside the church. It would be best to consult a priest before receiving communion. But go to church.

What Song Does Rick Springfield Sing on General Hospital?
The name of the song is "Who Killed Rock-n-Roll?", and a video clip of the performance is available on YouTube.
Rick Springfield fans might not agree with this assessment, but it was a questionable choice under the circumstances. The song is part of a CD scheduled to be released later this year, and thus unknown to General Hospital fans and Rick Springfield fans from the 80s who haven't kept up with the rocker.
While it made sense with the story line (Springfield was doing double duty as his character from the 80s, Dr. Noah Drake, and an Australian rock star named Eli Love) that the song performed shouldn't be recognizably Rick Springfield, those who clamored to no avail to hear Springfield sing on General Hospital the first time around were undoubtedly looking for one of his hits.
To Springfield's credit, he declined to perform on the show in the 80s--at the height of his dual popularity as soap star and chart-topping Grammy winner--because it was inconsistent with his physician character. It took a look-alike character to bring Springfield to the stage on GH, and while the storyline might have been a bit of a stretch, it was fairly standard soap opera fare and did address Springfield's long-standing concern.
