After retiring from a career in Archaeology, Freeman gravitated towards authoring several short stories through the years. These brief snippets of her life served as a form of therapy for her to sort out memories and add richness of details forgotten. 

When Freeman first began authoring short stories they were written without editing, just for pure enjoyment or satisfaction. An added element was talking to her siblings about the stories and seeking what they remembered about a particular event. This made for much happiness in remembering funny and happy times. Of course, sad and disturbing events went right along with happiness. It is those disturbing events that she sought out in her mind to assist in answering questions. 

So, at this point she has written 85% of a memoir that is about growing up in the 1950s-1970s with her two sisters and one brother. Freeman’s mother and father figure prominently in her stories. Her goal is to complete the memoir this year (2025). Sitting right behind the memoir is a children’s book she and her granddaughter are determined to write. And further in the future she has all of the data that is needed to write a book comparing and contrasting two fascinating sites that are strongly associated with the Cherokee Trail of Tears in Alabama. Freeman has spoken publicly at libraries, archaeological conferences, National Trail of Tears Association conferences and to other groups about her research.

During her career she was expected to create reports based on the archaeological surveys she was a part of and eventually those that she headed. These reports followed a certain template without much deviation. In other words, writing was to the point unless there were cool photos along with descriptions.
