This is amazing!! I'm not ready to believe you spent only five minutes on each section, but as professional and accomplished as you are, ok, I might be forced to believe it. The beauty of @mariannewest's #freewritehouse, of course, is that nobody is keeping a score card! No penalty if you took longer than five minute! A reward? Well, there's the reader who clamors for more where this came from, and the possibility of expanding this into a novella or publishable story. You know, like in the New Yorker vs here on Steemit.
The surprises with the wife knowing the stalker, and the ending, are brilliant.
Bravo!
Aw, thanks so much. It was definitely more than 15 minutes total, but for whatever reasons it's so much easier to write when you know you don't have to keep going to expand into something publishable.
Yes!!
This is true: it's so much easier to write when you know you don't have to keep going to expand into something publishable. And the beauty of it is, free writing liberates the imagination and we might end up with something better than whatever we might have tried to plan out in our heads.
