In fact, to come with poem, I use more brain juice than just casual writing. way to go @wordymouth. Looking stylish too .

@iamjadeline True. Poems have that nasty requirement of rhyming. 😍

Heeeeey, poetry isn't lazy. Being succinct is pretty hard ...

@kilbride I see it kind of lazy because with a story I have to think about the whole things, whereas, with a poem I can just lead you to emotions and scenes. But I get your drift: a poem takes me more time. 😍

Am I missing something... does free write usually mean a story? i just heard of it a few weeks ago.. I don't run in any literary circles

[freewritehouse]

no, it means that you write whatever comes to your mind in those five minutes - story, poem, your grocery list - whatever pops up

@kilbride I've said it before: a freewrite is anything that comes to mind. Hemingway used to start the day with a blank sheet in his typewriter and he would just write anything that came to mind. Then he was throw it away. I think sometimes that is the best freewrite because it is spontaneous and rough. Sometimes, my scratches end up as something more much later. And sometimes, I already get a story in my head and just write it.

Writing a poem takes more brain juice than writing normal post... So it's not lazy...

@elizacheng True. But poems seem easier to me, so it's my lazy way of writing a quick freewrite.
