Tomorrow - get ready for the Weekend Freewrite :)

This Week's Reward Share

We made this week donation week. Any donation/transfer I receive during this week with the memo "week13-19 awards" or something to that effect will be shared out at the end of the week.
Same conditions like last week.

  • Post at least 2 freewrites in the 7 days
  • Use the prompt - I will not accept posts which have nothing at all to do with the prompt. The idea is to write something new for this challenge.
  • Leave a link to your freewrite or copy your 5 minute freewrite in the comments of the prompt.
  • You must do all - I can’t hunt you all down to try to count you.

I am so grateful that you have been responding.
Thank you @whatisnew, @deemarshall and @wandrnrose7 for the transfer and thank you @brisby and @omra-sky for throwing this week's share into next week's reward. Thank you @improv for sending a tip to be included in the rewards.

Thanks!

I missed yesterday's and am afraid I may be too late for todays! But here it is copied as I am still not sure about the weekend challenge, lol. (Disclaimer: Writers block hit HARD on this one! I only have maybe three minutes before I was drooling in dumbfoundland!)

Make every day a special occasion. Why not? It may be their last one on Earth.

Celebrate the little things and the big things. And the no-things. It will make life more interesting.

What is a special occasion anyway? It is something someone should feel good about. It is a day where someone should feel happy to be alive.

I’m not saying you have to go all out and create Thanksgiving’esque feasts 365 days a year. That would become not very special real fast! But make something worth celebrating. Even if it’s just that you got through the day and one step closer to your goals.

You never know when it’ll be a last.

Celebrate every day as if it were a special occasion. Because it truly is if you really think about it :)

Each day is a gift. Each day is worth celebrating.

I always think of a gift each time I open my eyes :)

You are never late :) If we do a reward share, the cut off is Sunday (pacific time) at 7 pm - on any prompt of the week.

well, couldn't write something last time, but here I am again, my entry: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ahmadmanga/freewrite-ai-special-birthday-short-story

But for those who just want the story:

AI Special Birthday

"Surprise!" the group opened their arms.

Ai looked through her camera lenses at the cake in front of her, it was a big cake with one candle. She stared at the professor who smiled at her, then she looked at the men and the women around her.

"Thank you." Ai said. "I can't believe you made a birthday party for me."

"Why wouldn't we?"

"It's the day you were made in. we can't miss this special occasion"

Ai was an artificial intelligence created by the professor and his team, she was given personality and his team. and they depended on her a lot.

"You're one of us, Ai." said the professor.

Ai screen showed her happy face. If she was human she would've attempt to blow the candle.
She was happy to have been made by such kind people.

The End

I tried to write the story in five minutes four times, the comment above ^ is the only time I came with something readable.

But for those who'd like the previous attempts, here they are:

Attempt #3

"Surprise!!" the group of young men and women spread their arms.

Through her camera lenses Ai looked at cake in front of her... it was a small borthday cake with one candle in the middle.

"Thank you" Ai said "I can't believe you made a birthday party for me."

"why wouldn't we?" man.

"This is the day you're made in, we must celebrate." said clara the secretary.

Ai the artifical intellegent was made one year ago, by this group of computer scitensts.

"You're one of us." said the proffesor.

Ai screen showed her happy face, she blew the candle and the birthday started.


Attempt #2

"Surprise!" the group in front of her shouted.

Through her camera lenses, Ai stared at the

Then I realized I took two minutes writing less than two lines and wrote draft 3 above.


Attempt #1

"Surprise!!"

Through her camera lenses, Ai stared at the big cake in front of her... it was a big birthday cake with one candle. She

looked up.. stared at proffesor Mark, who smailed at her. his students made a circle around her celebrating with her.

"Thank you." Ai said. "I'm really grateful you made a birthday for me."

"It's the day you got made, how can't we celebrate this special occassion."

"We even made a fake cake since you can't eat."

"Thank you..." said Ai.

Though she's an Artifical intellegnece

Aesop: writing something in five minutes is harder than it seems!!

You had something in each of them. It doesn't have to be perfect or even good in a first writing - that comes with editing later. Just get the idea out of your head into the written form. You got that with each of the attempts :)

well, I don't like works that are obviously lacking... so I think I'll add I added a rule to myself on #freewrite... that the end work should be at least a certain quality before stopping/posting.

as long as it doesn't become too big of an effort and makes you stop writing......

Here is my second 5 min free-write post for this week. I have been really busy with various things so this might be the last one I can get done this week. Thanks again @mariannewest for these fantastic prompts: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@raj808/5-minute-freewrite-prompt-a-special-occasion

I love what you're doing, @mariannewest! You are inspiring so many. I will be contributing another #freewrite piece soon.

please do!! 5 minutes :)

Exactly! I've just pulled my head out of the sand after working on a piece for the #conflictprompt contest (and reading all the awesome entries--wow!), and I can finally think about something else.

Glad to see you keep using that app.

Living dangerously can be a lot of fun.

yes!! thanks for introducing it to us!!

Can you tell me what that is? Thanks!

That app deletes what you have written if you stop writing for 3-5 seconds.

And this is a good thing?

Yes, because Marianne wants you to upload the 5 minute freewrite without editing.

Ah ha! Thank you, @valorforfreedom.
