October 2016 WRITING DAILY for the Fifth Year

October's come & go... and, this is the 5th year to participate in the #write31days challenge. A few things prove to be a challenge as an internet connection for the 31 days of October this year will be spotty for 21 of the 31 days. So, the choice of the title "5 minute free-for-all" arrived kind of like this...

• I want to free-write and not pre-write - doing that will involve an element of "crazy".
• I don't have a clue or plan for exactly what subject I will cover each of the 31 days -- another reminder of a free-for-all.
• When I looked up the definition of free-for-all, the Miriam Webster definition came up as...
  
  AND the #write31days competition (event) involes thousands of people like me who enjoying writing. It is more of a competition with myself that I can do it.

Hopefully, when all is said and done, a link will appear on this page daily (or close to that) with what my 5-minute free-for-all of thinking & writing was for October of 2016.
