RE: His Wildflower
I think if anything, the 50 day challenge just inspired me to write MORE. It gave me more ideas! I was telling my husband last night that I feel like I haven't even HAD an idea yet. :) I am just writing along with the daily prompts or continuing stories that came up through the freewrite or other writing challenges. It feels like it's just a neverending supply!!!
so you're saying it's EASY! that's pretty awesome. no writer's block or anything!
If I get writer's block, it's usually when I'm working on a longer story, so I just switch to a different story. The daily prompts seem to just... flow. I guess because I know I only have to write for five minutes so there is less pressure!
are those things literally you writing for five minutes?
Most of the time, yes. The 5 minute freewrites are me sitting down and literally typing for five minutes. Then I go back and only edit for spelling mistakes, make a cover and hit post. I don't think them out ahead of time, I don't plan or do rewrites. They are actually just my writing exercises.
The weekend freewrites are THREE 5 minute freewrites where I have to work in three different prompts that I don't know ahead of time (those are my favorites!)
Sometimes I will continue to write for a short bit after the timer because I want to 'finish' the story, but the planning/editing part stays the same. I usually try to write in the post that I went over, but it's probably obvious most of the time. I have gotten to a point now where I know when the timer is about to go off because I've done SO many of them!
