Please welcome our newest freewriters @thechosenwhan and @someoneusual
Gratitude
This week, I released my latest podcast and am talking a lot about gratitude. well, it is time to express some supercharged gratitude right here, right now!
First to @wandrnrose7. A month ago, she went on a radio show hosted by MSP - the Minnow Support Project- and won a 500 steempower delegation for me. So I could vote for all of you!
Thank you so much!!! You have been so supportive of all the freewriters and me. You are amazing!!!
The next shout out goes to @steemusa! Steemusa is a new account and discord channel dedicated to supporting and to build community with those who either live in the US or are US expats.
To celebrate the birth of the group, the founders sponsored a contest where one could win a steempower delegation. I won!! 1000 steempower for one month. Thank you team @steemusa!!
Those two delegations made it possible for me to give each of you at least a 10c vote.
My hope was to have 500 steempower under my belt by the time the delegations go away. At 500, you get a slider and can vote at less than 100% power. Read more about voting power in this excellent article by @taskmaster4450
That brings me to my next thank you. I participated in the @papa-pepper selfie challenge. If you don't know papa-pepper, stop reading and follow him now. He is such a leader in this community and helps so many people.
That selfie challenge lasted for 57 days. Every day, the prize pool was growing. Then, out of the blue, a person called @anonymous.donor donated 500 SBD to add to the prize pool!! Thank you @anonymous.donor whoever you are.
10 of us were still in the game when the prize of SBD went way up. At that point, all of us agreed to quite the game and share the grand prize! And grand it was. Read all about it here and meet the player.
This enabled me to grow my own steempower to a point that now after the delegations are gone, I can still leave you a decent vote.
But wait - it gets better!! a couple of days ago, our very own @f3nix left me a comment to look in my wallet. And guess what. He delegated 100 steempower to me = us. He is going to be offline for a bit and didn't want his steem to sit around unutilized. How awesome is that!!
And today, @marcoriccardi followed suit. He also will be on vacation and delegated 50 steempower until the 7th of January.
I am blown away and so grateful!! As I am for all of you who keep writing such excellent stories to crazy prompts!!
Prompt: pill
- Set your timer for 5 minutes

I'm back!?! I hope to at least do this daily, even if I post nothing else. Having a baby is hard, guys. ;)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@stinawog/5-minute-freewrite-pill
it is super hard!! But at the same time - enjoy!! My babies have babies now - and they already are not babies anymore. Crazy!! when you are knee deep in diapers and sleepless nights, it seems like such a long time. Then they turn 3 and are kids and at 6, they are practically teenagers...... hold, sleep, enjoy..... and loving it that you are writing again!! Yay!!
Well, here's a late entry for this: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ahmadmanga/freewrite-she-was-the-expert
I didn't take part of day 65 prompt, so I used the prompt of day 64 instead. But this was a good excerize for me anyway~
The expert dying of their own expertise!! Interesting!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-66-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-flash
@snook and I collaborated on this one! She wrote a great start to a story with yesterday's "Fire" prompt and when I commented, she basically bossed me around and told me to finish it! ;) I took her challenge and here you go!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@byn/love-always-wins-collaborative-freewrite-w-snook
<cough cough >I have never been called bossy in my life! :D okay...that is a lie! HA!
Well, we DO have something in common! :)
Oh, I think more than you know! LOL
How I love all the collaborations coming about!! Love you two!!!!
Well, got way too honest here! First entry for this beautiful community. Cheers!

Favourite activity on Steemit thank you @mariannewest today's entry is a good one :) Freeflow is the best flow https://steemit.com/freewrite/@nathanthewise/day-64-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-pill

Here is where I tell you I'm excited to do all the things.
And since you posted @taskmaster4450's article on VP, I must alert you that I have posted a refutation of it, wherein I correct his math and demonstrate he's wrong, but as nicely as possible: https://steemit.com/steemit/@improv/math-and-steemit-voting-power

Hi @mariannewest! @deaconlee and I just finished a freewrite collaboration just for fun. You can read all about it here: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@whatisnew/day-64-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-pill-part-3
This group has so many fantastic people in it! Thank you, Marianne for bringing us all together!
Sorry, I keep trying to upload my freewrite reading to DTube but, it hates me. (Not that I blame it...)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@brisby/happy-pills-5-minute-freewrite-day-64
I find that sometimes, it doesn't work for me at all. Then I try later and it goes really fast. I use mp4 for the video and do a snap in Canva to the dimensions 800x460 and download it as a jp file. thank you for trying and I encourage you to try again...
