Weekend Freewrite
On weekends, we are switching it a bit up for one day. If you are ready for a bit more of a challenge - 3 prompts to weave into a 15 minute freewrite - stop reading now and look for this graphic
If you like to do one of our usual 5-minute freewrites - read on.
Today, you have the choice to write on any one of the prompts posted so far. I am pretty sure that most of you haven't done every single one yet.
When you are done, post a link to or your complete freewrite as a comment to this post.
- Set your timer for 5 minutes.
- Start writing
- Use the hashtag #freewrite
- Publish your piece (include a link to this post if you wish)
Copy and paste your URL into the comment section of the prompt post.

Here is @snooks excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure
And @improv's input:
Two things I do a little differently. I just type "timer" into google and it pops up a 5-minute timer. I also type directly into steemit. I also rarely use a photo, don't I? So that's three things.

It so happened I had the perfect story of the prompt 'children'. Sadly, it is not a happy story! :(

This is a very good idea.I appreciate your work.And i inspired to this type of work,passing a weekend in a work.
Thank you
hope you will write with us. If you do, leave a link to your post here please.
Earlier I credited @svashta for inspiring me to try a serialized freewrite - which is true, I did get the idea from him. Since then, I've been informed that @deaconlee is the first writer to create a serialized version of this freewrite. So for the record, all hipster "before it was cool" points go to @deaconlee, as well as a nod for basic guts and vision.

I did the weekend free write topic: a purple squirrel. I actually tied it in to an earlier story started with Stetson. Guess maybe I'll continue the story on the weekends? We'll have to seeeee.
