FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - Freedom

Here we another week and another prompt word from Lillie. This week she’s given us the prompt “FREEDOM” on her website [http://www.lilliemcferrin.com] to write our Five Sentence Fiction. And this week I’ve decided to once again use an acrostic format in which to write my response. Adding to the difficulty is the THREE letters I had to use which began the final fifth sentence. I’d would love to read everyone’s feedback this week. THANKS

BECOMING AN AUTHOR, BUT AT WHAT COST ???

F ledgling romance Author Cindy Madison had always dreamt of meeting a romance author who’s famous.

R eceiving an invitation from Liz Whippet she didn’t hesitate to meet for some coffee and pie at Liz’s home.

E ntering the abode she got enthralled by the furnishings.

E leven hours later she woke to find ten other women slaving away at computers writing romance stories of every genre.

DOM inating the room she saw an Amazon with a whip continuously yelling, “Finish typing those five romances if you want ‘The Mistress’ to give you your FREEDOM.”


[The names use here at purely fictitious. Any connection with anyone living or dead is pure coincidence.]

    1. THANKS for your kind compliment regarding my endeavor for this week. I love writing the five sentence limitation in which we're to write our responses using the acrostic format. The reason I love it is the added level of difficulty it gives in writing a response. Using the acrostic format forces you to use a specific letter[s] to start each of the sentences with so the end product makes sense. And for this prompt I chose F - R - E - E- DOM to start my sentences with, another possibility could have been FR - E - E - DO - M. With the letters D - O - M as the letters required to write the fifth sentence, the number of possible word is extremely limited; especially since in has to fit in with everything I'd written before.

      You're invited to go back through my previous FSF to find and read my other acrostic endeavors.

  2. Oh how devious Ms. Whippet is. I hope someone finds her out. Your acrostic was very clever. I really enjoyed this.

    God bless you,
    Cheryl

    1. How true your statement is concerning Ms Whippet !!!. She has to be found out eventually. How else could one woman write so many books in such a short period, with so many different styles of writing. I glad you liked my use of an acrostic format.

      And as I said in my comment above: "It does add a level of difficulty in writing those five sentences and it' s something I've done before.

      Have a GREAT WEEKEND with your family !!! :-) :-) :-)

  3. It's being said that James Patterson has something like that (sans the the whips, but with ghost writers).
    I like that your first "E" sentence stands out.

    1. THANKS for you compliment. When I write my acrostic endeavors I always use BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS to help the acrostic prompt word to stand more.

      Have a GREAT WEEKEND with your family !!! :-) :-) :-)

  4. This is wonderful. I suppose the more you challenge yourself when writing, the most enjoyable it is. Love your acrostic!

    1. THANKS for the compliments Priya.

      I enjoy writing these FSFs as it helps me to get the creative juice of those little grey cells inside my head flowing. This is GREAT especially when I'm suffering from writer's block.

  5. Great story/acrostic for the prompt particularly the last three letters. Very clever indeed and a thought provoking tale. x

    1. THANKS for ALL the COMPLIMENTS. I truly appreciate it. While Lillie's 5-letter prompt words are easy to write easy the acrostic format, the longer those words are the greater the challenge becomes. [See my response to the first comment left here]

      As authors/writers we know how arduous it can be to get our words written down into our manuscripts just for ourselves. So the idea struck me what if I'd been forced to do my writings for someone else without receiving anything in return. With this I saw an opportunity to dwell a little into writing something erotic for the first time, you know, the whips and chains bit.

      Have a GREAT WEEK !!! :-) :-) :-)
