We are so very grateful for all of you who voted for us to try to get the 10K delegation. However, we are in last place and I believe that many of you belong to at least one or maybe more of the communities in the running.
So, we decided to ask those of you who haven't voted yet to support the @steemitbloggers instead - they might have a chance to win this thing.
Here is the post to place your vote

What are you waiting for? Rush on over to the Freewrite House!
Watch this space for Freewrite House News!!!!
Prompt: take care
- Set your timer for 5 minutes

- 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!

Let's Do Community!!!
As many of you know, we have a Spanish speaking Freewrite effort going on. The fearless leader is @latino.romano who is putting a lot of effort into building the Spanish language community. Thank you!!
But that is not what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about Venezuela.
If you listen to the news at all, you know that the country is having a lot of difficulties right now - and many are suffering.
I know that we can't change the country or help all that are suffering right now. But we can help our Freewrite Community members - at least a little bit.
Please, upvote the following people as often as you possibly can!
@oscarina
@jakim7
@latino.romano
@teresah
@seifiro
@dranuvar
And try to sponsor them into SBI.
- 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... Starting in either December or January.
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.
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.

Voting
Remember to check your voting power.

- I am not sure if the following is still correct.
If your vote is below 0.03 - this is a must read by @thedarkhorse. Vote Dust
This is an initiative called @dustsweeper that is helping all of you [who deal with vote dust](Here is an initiative to help all of you who are dealing with voting dust. find the details here)
Also, check out @dustbunny - it is structured differently with the same goal in mind
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](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english
The 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!

This one struck a cord....The Instructions
Posted using Partiko Android
I can't upvote or comment on that post.
Just as well, because your kind thoughts make me look like a terrible person. Why is it so hard for me to say the nice things? Even in a tavern in a small town I'd choke on the words: Have a nice freewrite, my friends! and Take care as you head home in the cold and snow!
"Take care" - I'm starting to have an epiphany -
Everything I say or do or think, I should slap a Handle with Care label on it and remember to take care or face the consequences.
Well done @wandrnrose7!
Thank you for your kind thoughts. I'm glad that what I wrote strikes a chord with people. It really made me think when I thought about that prompt. And today I did take note of the times that I said those two words. Have a great weekend @carolkean.

Great piece @wandrnrose7. It did struck a cord.
Thanks for reading and very glad my words resonate with you. @wems.
Posted using Partiko Android
I couldn't upvote or comment, either, so I will do it here. You wrote in great detail what I was trying to say in a few words. Thanks for saying all the things I didn't manage to say! Like I have said before, I shouldn't do freewrites this late in the evening. Ha ha!
Thank you so much for all your sweet support. I'm really taken aback by the positive responses of that freewrite. This just proves for me that those off-the-cuff responses that we write Straight From the Heart do make the most impact on other people who read. @scribblinggramma 🤗

nope... that didn't help.... but others are doing ok... is it the Mac? hmmmmm
could be the mac or that the videos weren't shrunk before uploading. Or dtube on the blink. That is why I encourage people to do a YouTube as well - even though it is the evil empire or something like that LOL
It's ok, we shall use the Evil Empire for support for now hahaha
Until the Angel Investors come in sort it out
I am half way with one... will get to it :D

"Take Care" and "Have a nice day" (Make me!) are inflammatory words to my dad. Love this prompt!
