Five Minute Friday
I joined in that very first week, that very first prompt Lisa-Jo Baker shared. She wanted to know what we could write in 5 minutes flat. And apparently, so did we. Because Five Minute Friday became a weekly tradition across the blogosphere.
I wrote exactly 100 Five Minute Friday posts during those first three years. And I loved every five minutes. The time limit pushed me, the word prompt challenged me.
