If you are a regular at the Weeekend Freewrite, you might have noticed that the first prompt was a bit similar to one we used previously. Only the gender of the protagonist changed.
The first time, the stories were very similar and the question came up if the stories would be different if it was a man instead of a woman.
If you will, can you look for your female version and your male and post them in the comment or do a comparison post.
Remember - if you don't have at least a $ 0.03 vote, do not vote on comments. Your vote will not count. It get's rounded down to 0. @snook tried it and I am as well. We wanted to be sure.
Prompt: party
- Set your timer for 5 minutes
- Start writing
- Use the hashtag #freewrite
- Publish your piece (include a link to this post if you wish)
Copy and paste your URL into the comment section of the prompt post.
- Or, if you don't want to publish your freewrite, just copy and paste as a comment under the prompt post.
If you don't know what a freewrite is, here is a link to the introduction post.
Here is @snook's excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure
And @improv's input:
Two things I do a little differently. I just type "timer" into google and it pops up a 5-minute timer. I also type directly into steemit. I also rarely use a photo, don't I? So that's three things.
Please read, comment and vote (if you have voting power) on each others freewrites as much as you can. Especially if you are new to the platform, you will be surprised how many friendships are formed by reading and commenting on each other's work!

Bandwidth Problems
I know that many of you are very new to the platform and your wallets are pretty empty. Believe me, we all started there!! Here is an excellent article which explains what bandwidth is and why you might have a hard time logging in some days - or posting. Thank you @jrswab for this explanation
There are many contests on Steemit. From art to music to writing and everything in between. Enter as many as you can!! And take advantage of the free money people give away I listed in the money section below.
Writing help
A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Just remember that is is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link
Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stop and think - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over.
A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. 10 fast fingers
Our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has a business here on Steemit. Several editors are offering to edit and format your post for a small fee. Check out their intro post
Our discord channel Isle of Write has workshop rooms for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry where some of the experienced writers might be able to give some tips. Join with this link https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK
If you are ready to get serious about improving your understanding of the English language check out @majes.tytyty blog. He has lots of useful information to understand words and their roots better. If you have questions or need help, leave a comment on his blog.
If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us!

Did some funny twist into this.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@botefarm/winning-them-to-christ-by-all-means-day-200-5-minute-freewrite
We were the last ones to arrive at the party.
Late as usual,
not willing to go first,
then twenty minutes before "Yes, better to go!".
Traffic, yawning in the cab driven by a friendly but tired folk.
We were the last ones to arrive at the party.
Anyone was there; nothing was there.
Better to go!
Try and shorten it into a #fiftywords and made a blog for yourself, you never can tell.
Very interesting short piece I must confess.
Hi @botefarm, didn't know that tag, I'll check it out...thanks for your kind comment!
What a great piece!!! Thank you for participating!! Hope you join us ate the 200 Day Party!!!

Hello all. Made the earlier today.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@rabiujaga/day-200-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-party
hi here my entrance
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@yumifer/day-200-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-party
Hint - the images are essential to the story. I've been saving them for the right prompt!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@marie-jay/farewell-party-five-minutes-freewrite
Happy #freewrite200day! everyone! Hope you are all having a great day.
Here are my two freewrite stories based on todays prompt:
Elma:

Big Bird:

(remember 50% of the SBD payout from the Big Bird Story will go to the @freewritehouse)
This story ended up having nothing to do with a party (other than a pity party), but here it is!
Party.
Mine for the day.

The party didnt go as planned. Who actually caused the mishap still remains a mistery

Hullo! Congratulations on DAY 200!!! :) :)

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mysecondself01/freewrite-day-200-party-time
Your prompt FINALLY inspired me to write something I've been wanting to work on all week (A story involving multiple personalities for a constrained writing contest) I DID go over the five minutes, though!
Here is my entry for today's party! I was looking for a name and I hope that @pixiehunter won't mind where my inspiration came from lol. Flash and Friends
