So sweet
@
Thank you :)
I continue to be amazed at the quality of the writing you are producing given these short time constraints. I am not sure I am understanding the process correctly - you spend 5 minutes writing on each prompt, and there are three prompts here (15 minutes total)? Or is there only the 1 prompt, "I put tulips under all the pillows, and then I set fire to the house" and this entire thing is the result of just 5 minutes?
I am a big fan of yours, you have a very vivid writing style with a nice eye for the little details that place a reader in the scene. Much love - Carl
Wow! Thank you :) I have always loved creative writing, but I've been off my game for years and years. My husband says that I just "verbally vomit genius" when I write, because I never know what's going to come out, but once I start, it's just BAM!
The usual prompts are just one prompt and you set the time for 5 minutes and write until it's done. Those are really a struggle for me, because I've never been great at short stories. I enjoy the challenge, though!
The weekend prompt is 3 parts. You get the first prompt, write for five minutes and stop. Then you go get the second prompt, add 5 more minutes to your story and stop again. Get the third prompt and finish the story with one last burst of five minutes of writing.

Thanks for being an original and creative content creator! You rock!
Thank you so much!
This is great short story. Has a definite beginning middle and end--you're not left hanging. I'm also super impressed you can write this much in 5 minutes. I've been trying to do a post all day and I've got about 20 words so far. 😁
Thank you!!!
When I get stuck, I feel like I just write the same sentence fifty times (like on the longer story I'm trying to work on this week!!!) With these challenges, I just don't let myself think and I just write whatever comes out. I will admit that one day I couldn't get it together and I ended up erasing everything I'd typed for the challenge and started over. If I force it, it just seems awful. If I just let it be what it is, it will flow... but I'm also learning that when I do that, I'm kind of morbid sometimes!!! :)
You continue to amaze me on so many levels! If you weren't my wife, and if I hadn't physically watched you write this and other things like it over the course of a few minutes with no planning, no preparation, and no hesitation... Yeah. I'd be calling bullshit.
It's no wonder that our conversations frequently leave me so far behind. :)
It inspired me to finally work on that magical bag from the narcoleptic priest story. I added 5k words to that today as well!
yay!! you got a curie vote on this one!!! Congrats!!! So happy for you!!! So cool!! And no apologies - this is a freewrite which take you all over the place :)

Thank you! I didn't know about the Curie vote, so I went and looked it up. :)
