RE: Day 787: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: only what we could carry

in #freewrite • 5 years ago

A day late and a dollar short. I planned to write a happy tale of cooperation and older siblings sharing the load, but the five minutes ran out, and I remembered @mvkean calling it "cheating" and violating the spirit of the 5-minute freewrite if I kept going and going. (Which I always do. For hours, sometimes.)

This is not my usual style. Or theme. AT ALL.

      Oooh, that's a goose-bumpy insight, Marianne - especially when I just read, moments earlier (not from my son!!!):

      I despise the encouragement of freewrites as anything more than a targeted exercise. They waste tons of time and encourage terrible habits. When used as prescribed, they're wonderful. When abused in the interest of laziness, they destroy good writers.

      Used in the interest of laziness... what, not self-editing and revising?
      Who promotes that?
      Thank you Marianne for the kind words and for knowing the spirit of the freewrite and how FREE, and free-ing, this mode of writing can be!

        Guess the haters are still at it. I am so tired of those kinds of people.
        Let them go to hell, as my Arab friends would say 😂
