RE: 9 January 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2612: The Absolute Worst Case Scenario

in Freewriters2 days ago

I like the idea of that.... I might just have to do it !

5-minute freewrites are an awesome way to get a basic idea created (although admittedly I allow myself a couple of extra minutes, to compensate for the arthritis that makes my left hand type too many random characters !), but with just a few minutes you don't get time to really fill in all the nuance of the story or to develop it too far. I think this one definitely has pote3ntial to be turned into something longer....

Sort:  

All of my entries except for the first have been more than five minutes, but typically less than 30. I won't call them short stories, but perhaps story "sketches". I do enjoy the daily prompts though, it's been a good exercise to recultivate the habit of creative of writing.
