Day 9 - Selfie Freewrite Celebration Contest - Monkey's Wedding!
The Wedding
My parents got married when I was only two years old, I loved them more than a young puppy like me could ever ask for. They held me when I was sick, fed me bananas, and picked fake bugs from my coat.
As far as monkeys go they were wealthy beyond the normal monkey and the wedding was planned for at least a year in advance. It was a pedigree thing they said, but I really didn't know what pedigree meant, I was after all only a puppy.
My mommy loved me beyond words and only wanted me as a baby, at least that's what she murmured in monkey talk. Papa was always taking me on runs through the forest and protecting me from other monkeys that wanted to throw me like a coconut.
When it was time for the monkey wedding, they dressed me up in a fancy outfit and all three of us posed for a portrait. It was really uncomfortable but it had to be done. I was given plenty of treats for the inconvenience. We have that painting hanging on our ballroom wall as a reminder that a monkey's wedding is a serious affair.
This is where my five minute timer ended ...
Very imaginative having the money as narrator. Well done.

Gracias!!
Excellent post!
thanks, i appreciate it!
I like it! That's quite long for 5 minutes. I'm a perfectionist with my writing so it takes a couple minutes for me to organize my thoughts before starting. But you got it out very well. Good job :)

i've actually seen quite a bit more on others, which you know they went beyond five minutes. i stick to the 5 minute timer myself. i don't feel i get much out really. i can keep going on and on if my imagination really takes off. oh well, alas 5 min is 5 min and thank you!! :)
Writing exercises are great to get the creative juices flowing, I do random writing exercises too often and it helps me to reduce the perfectionist tendences that I have lol. I have trouble stopping when I get started too so I totally understand
yes they are, very much so. yeah i'm good with the 5 minutes, and no cheating. :)
