Writing Guidelines
Feel free to incorporate elements from your previous narratives if you like.
You will write a narrative, in ten minutes or less. If at any point, the narrative derivates from the original prompt, let it. Go where your creativity leads you.
Stop writing when the timer stops. Take a break. Stand up. Grab a drink. Keep writing new words if you like or, if not, file the scene/narrative for a later time.
Give yourself at least two days before you edit these new words.
Start the above timer.
