Hi,

I am not sure about what the meaning of right down is in this sentence--"what I need you to do is right down anything that comes to mind". I have looked up the dictionary and found that "right down" is used as an adjective or adverb.

Hello Zishuli,

Presumably the intended word was "write" and not "right". Wink
