The beauty of 5-minute freewrites is their spontaneity. Stories flow swiftly without over-thinking. However, that can lead to under-thinking, or changes in course, if we keep the same characters and setting in mind for the next day's prompt. Morning coffee + newspaper tend to input data in my mind, and whatever I saw in the news is likely to feed into a story. E.g., the name Quartez caused me to revise a minor character from meek and balding and un-named to sassy and familiar with Steven (whose fiance kept dumping off his stuff at the Salvation Army). But I digress... I might have to write a post about writing and freewriting and whether to go back and revise, or just rewrite a 5-part story as something more structured.
