Yes! This has also been one of the first times I've written fiction, and as I'm going it's like they set the mood...and they create a depth I wasn't expecting. I feel like the freewrites have helped really bring that to life for me. If I'm writing in my head about Lola, say at the store or while I'm cooking, I think I know what's going to happen. Then I start writing and I turn my brain off and the characters flood in and write it for me.
