自由に書いてみよう
Let's try writing freely/try to let your imagination run free (in your writing).

(1) "te-form of a verb", in this case "kaite" from the verb "kaku/kakimasu" (to write) is combined with different words to express different things. "...te + miru" means to "try doing (somthing). So "kaite miru" means to "try writing."

(2) "...you" after the stem of the verb (in this case) "mi" from "miru" means "let's (do something)." For example, you might say "ikou" (let's go) from the verb "iku/ikimasu," or "tabeyou" (let's eat) from the verb "taberu/tabemasu."

In the above sentence you saw, the two different expressions of "try (doing something) and "let's...) got combined,
"kaite + mi + you," thus, "let's try writing."
