Um, I'm the one who saw Prompt: Window, and posted the link to her freewrite in the comments section of this post. It took me a while to notice the missing #freewrite hashtag. (Last year, this was a source of stress for those who said it matters.) I'm just trying to stay out of trouble. Every year older I get, it gets that much harder! Off now to find me some more trouble
Let’s say that we like people to use the tag and it is probably best to pick from posts that have linked to the prompt. But you know how we roll. If you like it to be included, go for it. If you think it best to only include posts with the tag, that is fine too. This particular one might not have been a freewrite but a carefully crafted piece. We don’t know... Much love to you!
"Our Lady is not a bureaucrat" - as Catholics have said of Mary, we can say of @mariannewest. I love you and your laid-back, go-with-the-flow spirit, Marianne! @blueeyes8960 apparently wrote Heart's Desire on May 20 in response to the Window prompt. She posted it the same day. She is a member of freewrite's Beta Readers group. While her post doesn't mention @freewritehouse, she does link to Jayna's weekly Micro-Fiction Contest, where Jayna writes,
We collaborate with the #freewrite community and @FreeWriteHouse to give writers an opportunity to polish those freewrite fiction pieces and re-post the refined version. A thank you to @mariannewest for helping to spread the word!
This story was written and polished in one day. Is it any less of a freewrite if we don't get to see the first draft? What is this WAS a first draft? If so, I'll be feeling like Salieri in the shadow of Mozart. :)
I have had so much fun following this conversation! Well we have succeeded in getting some buzz around our connected initiatives, @mariannewest! High five! I think it’s awesome that you linked @blueeyes8960’s story, @carolkean. It certainly launched an interesting discussion!
