RE: Happy thoughts - a weekend freewrite
Good, if your stories carry you in unanticipated directions, it means you are giving free rein to your creativity.
However, if you do not take pride in what you produce, you cannot evolve and grow. Excusing yourself by saying you did not edit is not good enough. There are so many mistakes it actually spoils the story.
You still have time for editing (the edit button disappears once you are out of time). Please correct it, just so that people only see the best you can do.
This is a freewrite exercise - not a finished story. It might turn into one someday. But for now, it is an exercise. No writer needs to be ashamed of showing their process to the world. The idea of always needing to show only polished work is a thing of the past.
Today's audience craves to see reality - to see that there is a process. In the freewrite community - we don't judge. We encourage.
