His 1st Cake: We-Write with @improv
A few days ago, to celebrate the 100th day for #Freewrite group, @improv and I had a blast co-writing a story about a cakeaholic clown named Bonzo. In one of the many fantastic comments that followed, @jrhughes, @improv and I had a conversation involving murderous clowns, cake addiction, and the need for a prequel.
Then, @jrhughes sent this:
Who could resist that command? Lucky for me, @improv said he was down for another co-write! This time around, instead of writing for 1 minute each, we chose the 3rd option (I'll write for 5 minutes and then @improv will take the story over from there). I'll post the link to his continuation below. Thank you to @jrhughes and @improv for keeping this party going!
The children were still laughing when Bonzo left the yard. Pamela caught up with him, a plate of cake in her hand, and whispered in his ear, "It's red velvet, your favorite."
Bonzo smiled, she was cute but, she was wrong. He hadn't tasted his favorite in hundreds of years...
Bos had been looking for a way out of the palace when he first smelled it. While his family saw it as an honor and an opportunity to perform for the young King's birthday, all he wanted to do was run. To sprint to the river, jump into the cool water and let it take him FAR away. He'd heard from the other laborers about what happened to those that displeased his highness. What if the King didn't laugh? He would very much like to keep his arms and his head where they were, thank you.
He'd been creeping along another long, neverending hallway, past the kitchens and their heat, when the aroma of cinnamon captured him, leading him into a room. His stomach howled, the meager crackers he'd eaten earlier hadn't smelled like this! Following the scent, he came to a table filled with cakes.
Dripping with honey, speckled with dates and surrounded by flowers, they must have come from the heavens! Bos's hand reached out, there were so many, surely one wouldn't be missed. Then he paused, touching the King's cakes would enrage the Gods. There was also the matter of the guards...who weren't in the room...
The sticky cake felt heavy in his hand. When had he taken one? Bos was returning the cake when, from behind, he heard a harsh voice call out, "You there!"
Take it away @improv!

This is the most entertained I've ever been by a clown. Well done. I'm really looking forward to what @improv does with this. 😁
Oh. I had forgotten he was a clown. This changes the whole imagery...
Now I think it’s the clown dreaming. And in his dream he’s not dressed like a clown.
Hmm.
I’m doing to much with this huh? 😂😂😂
Happy to be of service!!
Wonderful. I'm so glad you decided to continue it
Thank you! Who knew that a clown would be so fun to write about?
Here's the next bit! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@improv/his-first-cake-part-ii-part-iii-honey-almond-we-write-with-brisby
And yes, note the hashtag "wewrite"
Thank you for reminding me that I need to put wewrite in the tags! Have a great day @improv!
You silly billy! You sent me MORE.
You silly billy.
LOL! I was in the process of answering you when you sent me this. I was one of the contributors to the day 100 prize. I wanted to participate in the challenge but I had intended from the get-go to give any winnings to whoever was my partner. and you're very sweet for adding me to your Steemdunk, thank you.
Please don't ever feel as if you owe me anything from a WeWrite. Granted, your choices are your own, as were mine, I just don't want you to think that I'm holding some sort of scale. it was never my intention to make anyone feel weird it just seemed fair in my mind. Have a terrific day Improv!
No no, I'm not feeling weird. I just want you to know that I'm pleased. I acknowledge your good behaviour, and I am happy with you.
Thank you! ( and I'm going to stop here because you're making me blush and I don't know what to say)
😊
Oh No! Course, he could just spread it around and pretend it's makeup. It's a clown! everyone knows they're crazy. Ok, I'm going to worry about this...
Well done.
Thank you! That's a good idea about the cake smearing though... Sorry to make you worry (she says while laughing!)
Eat the delicious cake! Suffer the consequences later! (He’s immortal right?)
I think he's not immortal yet. This is his origin story.
You're right, he isn't immortal yet. I wonder if Pamtischka the Magnificent will have anything to do with his transformation? we'll have to see what the next prompt brings. After I write the next part, would you like to continue on this story passing it back and forth together whenever we feel like writing one?
Let's!
I like how your mind thinks! Who needs to worry when there's cake?
Ciao brisby!!! Come stai amica? 😁 I really enjoyed the medieval turn that you gave to Bonzo the highlander!
Sorry F3nix, I've been fighting off January (the end of the month came in with a regiment of yetis equipped with chainsaws and the squirrels and I have been in the thick of battle. Although a bit weary, I'm happy to say that we are victorious! This may be a bit of an exaggeration. 😉) I'm afraid I have a lot to catch up on. How have your days been treating you?
I'm happy that you enjoyed the story, grazie!! (Thanks as well for the Highlander reference!)
I'm very happy that you got rid of those pestiferous yetis. I have mutant pidgeons here, full of them and they try to beat me with things that i'm not entirely sure I can write about here on steemit XD (..it has to do with the banana light-saber..)
My days.. I work, I concentrate on that because I live far from mrs f3nix so things don't have much sense in a way.. I've my karate, I've Steemit. I am ok, much more lucky than many people, so I don't complain..for a public comment this is enough hahah Blogging is nice but we cannot really know each other as friends with true lives... take care Bris and don't feel that you have to catch up..take it easy my friend :-)))
You sent me money! You didn't have to do that! Also, I don't know then what amount I'd send you. Do you use some third party thing to figure that out?
I'm sorry to get back to you so late Improv. I've come down with something and pretty much slept yesterday away. Since the WeWrites are something that we worked on together it just seemed fair to me to split the pay out. Ha! using an application or third-party something would have been a good idea. I just took the payout for SBD and steem and split it in half. LOL. There is an program that a person can fill out before posting that allows them to share the rewards I'll have to find that again. I hope that you have a great day and again, I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
No apology necessary. The minute Steemit becomes a job you have to clock into, it becomes a JOB. And then we have to actually start WORRYING about the price of STEEM, and if all the time we put into it is worth it. For now, at least, I think it needs to be worth it for its own sake, and the money will come. Hopefully Steemdunk votes will ultimately pay you back and then some so I don't have to WORRY about figuring out how to figure out things... ;)

I think i would not invite Bonzo to birthday party. Good story!
Thank you! You never know with Bonzo, he's always good with the kids though.
Great job! Can't wait to read more :)
Thank you! (Wait... Did you just tell me to get to work? LOL!!)
LOL! I guess I did!!
