Freewriters. Listen Up!!
As you are reading each other's freewrites, have a document open and copy and paste links to freewrites you really like. Add a comment why you like that particular freewrite and make it a good comment - 50 words or more. Mark it poetry if it happens to be such.
Then, when Tuesday or Friday comes around - you are ready to enter your favorite freewrites in the Freewrite House drawings to win SBI.
Right now, each drawing is for one Steem Basic Income share for the recommender and a vote for the recommended freewrite featured in the respective Digest Editions.
As we get more income, we will increase the prizes.
You can sponsor a day with an additional prize of your choice.
Keep checking the Freewrite House Page for more contest you can join.
What are you waiting for? Rush on over to the Freewrite House!
Watch this space for Freewrite House News!!!!
Contest Open: We-Write
Prompt: copy
- Set your timer for 5 minutes
- Start writing
- Use the hashtag #freewrite and #freewritepoetry if it turns out to be poetry
- 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.
If your freewrite turns into a poem, please use in addition to #freewrite also either #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest so we can find you!
- 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

Spanish Freewrite Initiative
The Daily Prompt is now also being published in Spanish and a Spanish language community is forming.
@latino.romano is the leader of the community and I am sure, he would love for you to stop by and say hello - in any language. If you are bilingual, please feel free to publish you freewrite in both languages and drop the link at both Daily Prompt posts.

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!

Fabulous news! So good people are getting on board: sponsorship is a great idea!
See what you mean about the formating. I think you have a rogue hash (#) somewhere (I had that problem once)
Anyway...

Thank you!! I took out all the headings and it took care of it. Crazy ...
I know, it took me ages, once to find out what the problem was!
Okay - going to hunt for that one. I was going crazy and then decided just to publish before I lose the little bit of sanity I have left 🤪
No one wants to see the crazy freewrite lady get more crazy! :)

Hi everyone, sorry for my disappearance this week. The poison oak has been especially brutal, I'm just very happy that it occurred after the 50-day selfie free write celebration! I would have definitely had to drop out. Here's a quick one for tonight.
