RE: "The Benevolent Dragon" ~ Inspired By The 5-Minute Freewrite (The 56-Minute Version) ~ Original Short(ish) Story ~

Ah yes, the longer than five minute'r. They seem to be growing longer by the moment ( :
I agree, it's so true, it can take SO long to write something, and so little time to read it. I've spent a day or two on longer pieces, can't imagine writing a novel. That someone finally reads in 2 days. Then again, thanks be that folks do that sort of thing. Life would be SO boring without.

But I still LOVE writing, even for myself. That's why I love Steemit so much, besides chatting all the time with friends. I used to stay up all hours, putting electrowords to page, then stuff it in the computer forever to be forgotten about. This site has (enjoyably) forced me to actually FINISH something. Up to 300+ or so. That amazes me. And I certainly enjoy getting lost in it, most times. (Except for sleep deprivation, maybe.) I'm sure you can relate to the fun of it, with all the great stories you craft on here. Thank you for that, Steemit. And all my buddies too. Thanks for stopping in for a Thursday chat.
Stay cool. "RIGHT"! -bl

Believe it or not it was a refreshing night! Lets thank rain for that hehehe
You're right, one can get lost in writing. Once I start writing the world shuts down around me, its just me and the words. There's no hunger or thirsty or need to pee haha just the thing I'm writing and the words flowing out of my head. When I finish I run to the bathroom and then eat like troglodyte cause I spent hours writing hahahaha

So glad you had a respite from the humid heat. Rain is a wonder for that.
What a bathroom troglodyte, got a big chortle out of that one. I certainly can relate to the thirsty/eating thing. Though heading to the loo, well, some things have to happen, no matter WHERE my brain is going. But that 'zone' is a special place, that's for sure. (The writing zone, not the bathroom zone. EVERYONE knows that one's special...)
