RE: For the Love of Tulips. Weekend Three Part Freewrite Challenge
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.
