You don't have to write the literary equivalent of Socks or Phantom every time you write. Even the Queen and the Beatles had a few so-so tunes. :) I know your writing time is very limited (and most precious), so I hope you're finding time for it. You did write about the two men on Death Row - and that is first-rate writing. So there ya go. Doesn't have to be a freewrite; it only means I can't nominate it for Friday. :)
