WeWrite FreeWrite with @mylittleblurbs and @svashta
As part of the Day 100!!!! - Freewrite History and a Contest of Sorts @mylittleblurbs and I decided to write a story together around the prompt "It was Saturday morning".
We alternated a sentence or two each, and managed to produce a (unfinished) story.
Here's what we managed to write together in 10 minutes, using a sahred google document:
It was Saturday morning when my belief in reality no longer existed.
I had been struggling with my existential crysis for weeks and that Saturday morning when I woke up, it had reached its peak - I felt nothing. My numbness tingles as my senses grew more intense. I realized that I was no longer here but somewhere else. My fears brought me here to battle, but my nerves were rattled. I looked over on the night stand and took two Adderals - I needed those to be able to focus. I swallowed them dry then slammed my head back on my pillow until they took effect.
As I lay there in anticipation, my anxiousness grew. I trusted these chemicals would see my through. I might have dozed off in time, but my mind was racing and my heart beats were tracing my footsteps of where I had been the day before. Was it real or a dream? Lately I could hardly tell my dreams from reality - for which I partly blame my substance abuse, and partly my emotional instability - but last night felt too real to be a dream. It had to be real.
The lights, the glamor, the action, all lead me here. A bottle in my hand and a pill in another. In hopes of them working, but I’m starting to ask “why bother?” I lay here still, as I gaze upon the ceiling. I wonder if my soul is up there feeling what I’m feeling. And with that hope I fall.
At first I thought I would be happy to finally be free of all my emotions, but I’ll admit, I missed them. The day before was an emotional rollercoaster. I had felt everything from love to fear, from sad to euphoric.
I would like to thank @mylittleblurbs for this fun collaboration, and also point out that 10 minutes is a hell of a short time when you try and write together with someone. :D

I missed that one - sorry for being late. 10 minutes is a short time!! which method did you use?
No problem at all! :D
We were alternating and wrote a sentence each (sometimes 2 if the initial sentenc was short and we had something already in our head as a follow-up). @mylittleblurbs started, and I ended it :P
very cool!!! I really love that on some of these We-writes you really can't tell that it is two people writing!!
I share your opinion, yeah, it is quite amazing that it's impossible to tell... it just flows so well :D
