I am one who kinda sorta follows the 5 minutes. I set my timer for 4:30, stop writing at that point, then spend several more minutes cleaning up what I wrote without changing the content. Of course, finishing up the dang post for publication (links, attributions, images etc) takes at least another hour.
We don't really have hard and fast rules here. Thank you for writing with us! This was a great freewrite.
I do also kinda cheat a little with the time, because I find it impossible to write all that in a mere 5 minutes, but if were to cut loose then I wouldn´t stop for the next 3 hours. It´s why I like the format so much, it really incites me to cut the fat and write about the important parts and really gets me going. Also thank you so much, I´m glad you liked it! :)
