RE: Freewrite is Not Writing for Publishing

in #freewrite7 years ago (edited)

That's a great idea actually:

Or, are you maybe just doing those freewrites so writers willing to do the real work of shaping words into powerful stories have something to start with?

Now, there’s a thought. Maybe they’re really five minute word prompts for others to make into something real. Is that the service you want to offer?

Most of the stories I write are just my worlds taken out of my mind into paper/internet, most of the ones I post are just IDEAS I thought they are good. I only want to better my writing because I can't always rely on other people writing them for me (I don't want money or IP I just want my worlds to be seen.)

So it's a great idea for me to put these ideas and "Hey, if you want to write a full story out of this, DO IT don't care about mentioning me."

About freewrite, I'll put it in the next comment...

Well, if that is what you want to do is put your mind-dump out there for others to use and are willing to say so, then I suggest you add a tag like #writing-prompt along with your statement that the ideas are free to use.

Ah, thanks, I didn't think of that but reading your post made me think of putting a warning about "mind dumps" in all of my freewrite posts too. But I only do freewrite when I'm in mood (and don't post it if I didn't like the result.) The next one won't be soon.
