RE: Wild West - Chapter 6 - Part 8 - 5 minute freewrite challenge
Wow, I think this was one of the very few freewrites with this prompt that used the word literally... to literally mean literally.
Also, I don't think I'd WANT to sleep outside in this place!
As always, Thursdays are my day to help @mariannewest deliver the prompts, so on that note… here I am with my crazy scattered thoughts to deliver Today’s Daily Prompt: Red Wine for the freewrite. Feel free to join us if you have the time and thank you for joining us today! It is such an awesome community to be a part of and now we have a new page with contests, new challenges and even more community:
Hheh, so everyone else made the effort not to use it that way and use it as something creative instead? :P Or just, you know, the usual use of "literally", the meaning of which is... null. "I'm literally dying right now", and such spring to mind. :P
I don't think so either! But hey, 80% of your income just to be able to sleep at night!? I'd wager my options for that one! :P
Thank you! On it right now!
Yeah, a lot of them seemed to use it in the 'typical' "OMG, I literally died" kind of way (or making fun of those people) OR a commentary on the use of the word! A lot of actual free flowing train of thought writing today instead of stories.
It makes me somewhat sad to read this.
I mean, don't get me wrong, speaking your mind and writing down whatever springs up is exactly what freewriting is supposed to be all about (at least I think so), but there's just something special to a.. story... that carries the same message the mundane throught-train would anyway.
Plus, writing a story instead of writing down whatever your brain produces in its free state requires a certain amount of effort. Can't just be full-out random. I like the struggle of it. The need to get ahold of that next sentence and type it down asap before you lose it to another thought already arising in your head haha :D
Oh, I agree. I find it more fun myself to actually try for a story, and that's what people usually do. This week was the first time I'd noticed several free-thought type posts. Of course your fell in the middle of the ones i was reading, too, so maybe there were more.
I think that very challenge is why I love the weekend freewrites so much.
Yeah, stories are awesome! :D Both challenging and rewarding. For the writer and the reader alike! :D Supposing I'm not the only one who feels Fantastic after having finished a story :P
I still haven't picked up on the weekend 3 prompt challenge!
Maybe this week, but at a random time!
I'll try!
And maybe fail miserably and not post it. :P
