Five Minutes Free Write - Day One
This is a test to the most dangerous writing app. I currently don't even know what I will be writing about. The only thing that matters now is time. The now, and whatever comes to mind. Actually, five min is quite a nice amount of time to write. While I keep on doing this, things start to set up on the mind, looking like a gorgeous and peaceful lake. Isn't that beautiful? I never felt that! Never, emerging from writing. Writing is bringing up peace to my mind. I wish I could communicate the happiness I feel right now. I have spent the whole day at bad humor, almost discussing with anybody who dared to stare at me... and yet, now, forced to write, by chance, in this random act of kindness, I found peace. Writing is delighting peaceful. What-else I could say?
I will... I now remember... Yes! Yes! keep up with me! I remember now a long time ago when I tried to organize a series of poems of mine, a large book with a bunch of hand-written poetry which I turned into "my masterpiece". I remember I wanted so much someone to go read through it. My mom, as a math teacher, told me to talk to Rose, a language teacher. At that time, I had prepared a few trial poems, like a small selection, so she could read and get a taste-glimpse. And I remember selecting a draft which I wrote during one lab lesson. The lab teacher spent some two hours talking about lab safety. And during that boring talk, I just took a piece o paper, and draft a poem (Oh my g... my wife is talking to me now... and I am like, -Wait, Wait, Wait. How can I explain I have only five min? And how to explain how this app works, and how it might erase all I am writing? Agrrrr... Ok. Back to the lab poem.

That was a very random, crazy, chaotic and meaningful poem. I thought that one was hard to go through. And I never expected anyone to like that one. But, impressive, Rose took that one and told me something like that "-Oh my goodness, I always wanted to read something like this! Frenetic and strong and chaotic, and so full o meaning at the same time..." She had some unexpected light in her eyes. So, lesson learned. That day I understood what "subjectivity" means, and also became impressed by the impressions a poem can cause in someone else.
Done. Five minutes! Victory!

Love how you feel peace while writing. Me too, but not so much when family comes in to talk while the 5 minute timer is going ;) I just furiously wave one hand down.
I guess you understand me perfectly : ) . Actually, I was thinking about this, the writer vs. family clash, which happens sometimes. I was thinking that it would be nice to call writers to talk about that. Like this The Writing Daddy .
Because -as I am sure you know very well- inspiration is something wild, and sometimes hunt us as we were the pray, not the contrary. In such moments I feel like "I N E E D some draft-paper" and it is really strong. But is not always something happening while I am alone, and sometimes I can't address it properly because of family routines. Is not that family is a bad thing, far from that... But the clashing if my writing-desire is getting more often. Oh.. I guess I am talking way too much : )
See you around!

Happy to see you jumping in to freewriters! This was a great start! I can't wait to see more from you.
Hi there, @wandrnrose7 ! It took me a month wadding around Steemit tags till I found freewriters. The first place that made me start feeling at home. Thanks for your welcoming.
Actually, I would say there are some instinctive connections happening in here. Human Interaction has a bit of magic in it.
