I'm not going to bother with digging in on why those two bots ( and
) voted down, going with the benefit of the doubt today.
The idea of freewriting or simply put into thos 5 minute challenge is a great way to start writing for beginners, in my opinion. I try to do so in my personal journal by dedicating at least 5 hours per week. Sometimes I meet the deadline, sometimes I don't and sometimes I don't write for a long time. But even so, the more I do write, be it on paper or in the battlefield (comment section), I feel "healthier" for doing so.
It has helped me with keeping my insanity sane.
