The Newest Published Author
I am happy beyond belief to tell you all that @honeydue is now officially a published author!!
Congratulations!!!!
Now, let's show her that we, the Freewriters, indeed are a community!! In this blog post she is telling us how.
- buy her book
- leave a review
- Like her Facebook page
- Tweet about it
I hope many of you will do at least one action.
If you are publishing a book inspired by your Freewriting experience (or otherwise) let us know so we all can help each other!!
Also, we are thinking of doing a collaboration workshop on how to get a manuscript ready for publishing. Let me know if you are interested - both, to either share your expertise and/or to learn...

Prompt: headache

- 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!
If you have a business on Steem you want to share, let me know. I will start a dedicated section in the resource portion of the 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
10 fast fingersI found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately.

Very timely prompt. I've been wanting to write about my self publishing journey and it's so crazy that I never know where to start. Once again the freewriting is helping me out! How awesome that Honeydue has published hers already! That is so encouraging!

She got my reviews! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@improv/headache-5minutefreewrite
This is my very first freewrite and honestly it couldn't have been a better prompt. Here is my link :)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@emms/the-pain-in-my-head
I probably could have written about how my day was going and used today's prompt about ten times, but I decided I would refrain from regaling all of STEEM with my woes and instead offer up a fictional tale that nevertheless describes my day rather accurately, after all. :)

Congratulations @honeydue, that is an awesome acheivement.

Having trouble posting this tonight.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@tristancarax/butterfly-5-minute-freewrite-thursday-prompt-headache
I am having lots of trouble today too...
I got a headache ! Oh no, I almost missed this freewrite for Thursday.
Anyway, here is my catch up for the Thursday Prompt writeup
Cheers https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-287-5-minute-freewrite-thursday-prompt-headache
First, about this
I'm new here but I've been self-publishing books for the past few years and love to tell people about how not-scary it is to create ebooks. I do my own covers in GIMP and final formatting in Sigil, both free programs, and while I use Scrivener (which is paid) these days I used to do preliminary formatting with a basic text editor and Calibre (free). Basically, I know how to do it if you've got more time than money and I think everyone else should too.
And second, a freewrite from this prompt:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@sidequest/headache-ea75ebd5deeedest
That is fantastic!! would you like to join us on discord? it is brand new - I just set it up in its current form, but we would love to pick your brain!!
And maybe, we could have a channel devoted to Scrivener questions. I am about to purchase it and have heard enough about it to know that there is a learning curve.
Here is an invite - if it has expired by the time you find it, let me know. https://discord.gg/JHTgt4
Thanks, I think I got myself set up there. I also joined into the Isle and got a color picked and everything.
It took me a bit to warm up to Scrivener but I do think it's worth the curve.
Oh, and welcome to the Freewriters!! And to Steemit! I got so excited about you knowing all this stuff that I didn't even say hello. 😳
Forgive me 😄
Thanks and hello back!
