RE: Freewrite is Not Writing for Publishing
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."
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.
