Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the story and it had some flow. Though as the discussion at the end says, these longer writes are edited. The initial idea and most of the story body comes out in a five minute write, or 28 at times, but then I work on it some more. Hence the extra time it takes. And different name. For some reason, a single @mariannewest word sometimes triggers a whole idea (like a photo does too), and it just takes off on the page faster than my fingers can keep up. Just depends on how the brain is working that day. And what the word conjures forth. Odd how this whole creative process works.

I realize many people DO only write for five minutes, and put it out 'as is'. I do those too, though I always edit, because of multiple use of one descriptor/word, mis-spelling, etc. I like it to be readable. And to me, it's all creativity, in whatever form you want to to take it. That's why I love this Freewrite, it is such a great motivator, and a writing exercise that really 'gets you going'. The sky seems to be the limit. Or outer space ( :
Cheers and a nice weekend to you as well.
