RE: Day 29: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: great-grandpa's nose
I wrote something with the app on this. But then I don't think it's a good post. So I just took a screenshot and post here as a comment.

That was good, I'm not a writer either, I love to read though, and I think you did great as a non writer, it's about having fun. And I have been having a lot of fun, did't think i would but I am, so keep at it. We grow by leaving our box behind.
Yup. If I compare myself to the writers, then I am not doing a good job. But then if I am to purely enjoy the challenge, I am pretty sure I am doing an awesome job. Coz I am really having fun! Thanks @mariannewest and @improv for coming up with this crazy fun writing challenge! Oh and thank you @bashadow
*We grow by leaving our box behind. Very nicely said!
@bashadow You said that wonderfully!! And you are a writer!! You are writing :) The more we do it, the more we find things to write about we had no idea that they were in our head :) Btw. I didn't write for many, many years after I came to the States and considered myself not able to do so. Now, sometimes words flow - and other times, they don't. It's all good though. So glad that you are having fun!!
Don't discourage yourself @elizacheng, this is a good mind flow like the others..soon if you keep practicing you will learn that anxiety and worries are enemy of creativity.. just let the positive energy flow and enjoy, no one is here for judgeing you ;-)
Thank you! I will keep trying. And just hope that my silly pieces won't be see as spam.
Nothing you scribe is ever spam Liz :)
You start there and grow 💙
And I think whoever reads that can agree you can write but you need to focus :)
Ya, really I need to focus. And getting into the habit of writing.
Your post was an honestly good freewrite. We all have words and phrases that will immediately conjure up a story in our minds. And we all have times where the prompt leaves us floundering. To be honest, I am surprised that I haven't written a list of chores and errands yet. It is bound to happen eventually. The prompt would be "mirror" (or such) and my freewrite will look like: wash curtains, clean windows, vacuum, do laundry, dust mirror, wash fish tank filters, lightbulbs, dog food,....
Hmm... If mirror is my prompt, I would be going into the ghost story haunting mode... LOL...
Oooh! I would love to read that! Here's to hoping she has 'mirror' as a prompt. (written in a very loud stage whisper)
Coming back and see the "mirror", now I am into the Snow White mode... Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of the all...
Ha! Where did the entity in the mirror disappear to when the Evil Queen wasn't talking to it? Bonus points to you because it is snowing where I am. :)
Wow! I have never experience snow yet in my life... Must go to the countries with snow at least once to experience this!
Eliza - that is a perfect freewrite!! You came up with some great imagery. Love the big crooked nose!! So glad you are writing with us!!!
Thanks Marianne! Love this freewrite. I guess during the weekend, if I do join, I will posting screenshot as comment to your prompt post Coz I won't be accessing my laptop.
And to another crazy 5 minutes on your phone lol
