RE: Wake-up kisser - A 5 minute freewrite story
Very sweet, well done! It's very hard work, but what a rush.
Going through it afterwards and fixing typos is definitely not cheating. And when you have a nice end like that, it'd be such a shame not to add it. I'm fairly new as well, so I don't have any authority when I say this, but I think this exercise is supposed to help force you to write, and if you write a little longer than five minutes, it has achieved its goal.
Its really hard! For a moment there my mind went blank and I was literally just hitting random keys on the keyboard just for the sake of not stopping.
I like the way you think, typos should not see the light of day if spotted, so fixing them can't be cheating. In fact, it should be considered a service to the readers. And this exercise definitely forces us to write, and even when the result is really rough it is a story, and being able to pull one in such a short time feels great.
Thanks for reading!
