RE: Freewrite is Not Writing for Publishing
Thank you for saying that! It's becoming increasingly frustrating to wade through an ocean of freewrites in search of actual stories!
I completely agree with you.
thank you for your kind words @tinypaleokitchen ... I do find the volume of them overwhelming at times.
This reminded me again of the need of better steemit filters.
The ability to search two tags at the same time or filter out a tag from the search... That will help people to find content a lot. (Imagine opening #fiction tag and filtering out #freewrite tag. That will reduce the number of posts that won't interest you a lot.)
How about people quit tagging freewrites as fiction, since they aren't actually written as proper fiction? That would make everyone's life easier.
Or better yet, quit posting them altogether.
That will help 100 times more!!
People editing their work and spending time on it would help even more. Or stop tagging that pre-draft material as fiction. That would work too.
Fiction is something that requires thought, planning and discipline. You can use your freewrite as the base of a piece of fiction. But that doesn't make the freewrite itself fiction.
