Let's celebrate tomorrow!! Make sure you have your adventurous mind and creative pen at the ready!1 Brew an extra pot of coffee, pour another glass of wine or whatever it is which gets your wildest thoughts going and be ready!!!
*Please welcome our newest freewriters @docpaoh @jyezie @clodaghdowning @cbrayst by visiting their blog and leaving a comment:
Prompt: Sunset
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 @snooks 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 can)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!
Make sure to check tomorrow's post!!!

Congratulations on how far you've come Marianne!! We are all so grateful for the time, effort, and love that you've given to the freewriters! tip!
Generosity should be rewarded, and let's get that spammer who upvoted their own comment down to the bottom!
You are very kind, thank you @improv! Also I agree, Mr. Nothing Constructive to Add's comment should remain down and out of sight!
.. we've come so far together, thanks to the initiative of @mariannewest and @improv, and the best has yet to come! (flagged the spammer)
I sense there will be some romantic stories today :p
Edit:
Here's my part for today:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@svashta/wild-west-part-18-5-minute-freewrite-challenge
Oh, your spider sense is working well :) But you never know with this bunch LOL. Might be a bunch of horror stories too. :)
I'm afraid you might be right haha :D
I'm spider-man ;)
Hahaha! My first thought was "Oh! Vampire story" and my second was "Nah, everyone will do a vampire story, what else does 'sunset' bring to mind?"
No one will accuse me of being the most romantic gal around, but at least my darling hubby hasn't had to endure thirteen years of chick flicks ;)
Hahaha :D If I wasn't writing an ongoing story, I'd definitely write a vampire story now :P Just to spite you haha :p
Lol! Well I'm not sure I will write a vampire one. But something bloody for certain. You made me laugh with the "spite you" comment.
One of my favorite "funny things my kids have said" stories is when my daughter was only eight she overheard me complaining about a product that didn't work as advertised and she said, "If that happened to me I would take it right back to the store and tell them I want my money back, and I want another one for free!"
When I asked why she would want another one of something that doesn't work she answered, "For spite!"
Oh my hahahahaa :D That sounds amazing ahaha :D Thanks for making me laugh! :D
I have a sad heart breaking story, wanna read it? XD
I have no idea what go into me, writing in little lines of kind-of poetic prose but really just writing nonsense about aliens. Anyway, happy I participated on day 99! No matter the quality, the consistency makes me better. 💪🏼
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ameliabartlett/not-seen-as-we-seem-or-5-minute-freewrite-day-99
I'm buoyantly enjoying getting everyone else's posts above the spammer's!
Hahahah!
Lip-service to sun-set…
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@amos-robinson/freewrite-sunset
Congratulations on 99, I'm excited about tomorrow's, especially if it's a three-part!
Buoyant isn't the right word... Or is it? I'm buoying posts to rise above that spamsters!
Good idea!
Tanks!
Run! There are so many tanks bombarding us!
I almost wrote about romance but ya' know I couldn't with the earlier comments ahahahahaha. I laugh at myself because I'm such a predictable sap.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@saronym/sunset-5-minute-freewrite
I wrote about “romance,” kinda.
I'm a day behind! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@byn/fabulous-feisty-grandma-belle-5-minute-freewrite
I stopped by :)
I’m getting a little lost in the comments today.

Congrats on the amazing milestone, @MarianneWest!
Happy 100 days!!! Wow what a milestone!

Not sure if @saffisara would share this herself but I am so proud of her first freewrite! Everyone go check it out. 😁

Here's my Day 99 Freewrite!
Thank you very much for the announcement, here I leave the link of my post. Wishing to read many stories about sunsets. I love. Blessings!

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@pixiehunter/5-minute-freewrite-friday-sunset
No monkey business from me in this one, lol.
Hi @mariannewest. I have kinda become a once/week freewriter with your weekend freewrite which I find is best for my style. I can create something I'm happy with on the 3 prompt weekend posts and I really dig the way it allows you to start with a clear character/situation in mind from the first prompt sentence. Then adapt the story, on-the-fly, as the second and third prompt sentences kick in, improvising around plot and action. Which brings me, rather contentedly 😉, to my point. I'm really looking forward to your 100th freewrite post! Something special you say, what could it be? I am itching with curiosity, waiting with bated breath.
It is posted :)
Such a blessing to watch each sunset! Thanks @mariannewest <3

Thank you!
Hey everyone! here is my post in reponse to today's prompt. I must confess, although the inspiration and the bones of this piece came out of the five-minute freewrite itself, I spent considerably more time fine-tuning this one... I hope that doesn't go against the spirit of this challenge. Alright, here's my post:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@cbrayst/day-99-5-minute-freewrite-tribes-of-the-eventides
Yey! Allow me to greet everyone, and you especially @mariannewest, happy 100th!
Here’s my take on the challenge. I enjoyed doing it.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@yadah04/99th-prompt-of-the-5-minute-freewrite-sunset
Here you go, another genre shift today lol: "she was foaming at the mouth, and her eyes rolled back in her head."
We keep growing :D Impressive :)
Here is my piece for this prompt, sunset :)

Hi - I'm new here. Here's my piece: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@busdriver/night-sun-6-the-race It just so happens to fit the theme of my series.
Thanks for joining us @busdriver.
Sunset Means Moonrise!

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@jeezzle/sunset-freewrite
Beautiful. You never know what your freewrite will be until you get the prompt and start. Possibly the quickest one I've done.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mr-neil/the-sunset-and-sunrise-5-minute-freewrite
💯 Happy 100 💯
I’m confused. How is your 5 min freewrite faster? I guess I’ll see when I read it.
I mean in terms of editing. I go back to polish them up, not too much, just enough to make it more readable. But this one had virtually no editing at all. I did do one freewrite in 60 seconds. That's another story.
I can't belive I'm actually doing this 😁😁 LoL
This is my very first time doing this so be gentle.

Here is my entry for today
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@sharoonyasir/day-99-5-minute-freewrite-friday-prompt-sunset
Day 99! Woo-hoo! Less than a few hours, we will be celebrating day 100. But before that, please accept my post here
Here's my post for the prompt: Sunset. But here's a little thing about it.
While other people thought of love and romance and stuffes, I thought of pain and heartbreak..feel free to read it you guys XD. Oh and please do tell whether I need to improve on some stuffs haha. XD
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@elijahniel12/prompt-sunset-5-minute-freewrite-challenge
I went over a bit with time, but I challenged myself to use all 5 prompts in one story! Here it is:
Sunset.

Hi. Here's my entry for Day 99: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: sunset
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@rhei86/day-99-5-minute-freewrite-friday-prompt-sunset.
This is fun. Just out-of-the-box.
Oh my wow!
Look at all these freewrites!
Here’s one more.

Just an fyi, you should post this link under the most recent prompt for maximum exposure. 😊

Very hectic times, but here is mine, thanks as always

True, but then I feel like I'd be cheating since the prompts won't match... sad face emoji, lol
We all do it. Trust me, @MarianneWest would approve.
I deviated from the topic a bit, but I wrote a little freewrite the other day and I felt that the contrast was a happy coincidence to "sunset" https://steemit.com/freewrite/@jedau/too-early
Hey!! You made it here!! Yay!
Yay! Hopefully I'll be able to write more often than not! :D Looking forward to interacting with the community more. I've already commented on some.
That is fantastic!! Looking forward to reading more of your freewrites!
Looking forward to getting back to it!
Hello!
I love this challenge and here is my entry.

Chapter Fourteen of my serialized #freewrite story:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@fireawaymarmot/5-min-writing-prompt-sunset-freewrite-chapter-fourteen
For everyone who just spent 5 minutes on this, you just lost $41.35 ($8.27 x 5). Attention all freewriters, you don't need to be a starving artist.
Attention He Who is Concerned: How much money did you lose while writing this? Also, what system do you use to determine the value of something fun? What is the going price of creativity, sharing, and meeting new people these days?
Thank you for your consideration and have a lovely evening.
Thanks for saying it because this is what I was thinking. What if...now follow my crazy train of thought here...people...like...actually enjoy the activity? Whoa. Weird stuff I know. Welp, now that I've wasted another 9 dollars of my time making this comment back to that millionaire grind.
😂 Look at us just throwing money away!! LOL!
I'm not good at math, so I don'T get how that calculation works.
But yeah, the "value" of something in terms of Energy is far greater than ANY monetary value. The value we get from writing, sharing, commenting, reading, is far greater than ANY monetary value.
PLUS Steemit, the way it works, well he clearly doesn't get it. So wtv there lol
The point of your comment being?
I see random comments like this and I'm like 😅 What do I do with this?
I mean, if he was indeed offering something, he would've at least mentioned what he had in mind... Simply stating "you're wasting your time" without proper arguments is just... excuse the word... bullshit.
Ha! agree with you there.
Would it be rude to flag this as spam? I don't really understand how flagging works, but it seems like spam to me.
I'm not sure @amos-robinson. I'd hate for the initial post to get flagged as spam but I think that @grantcardone is a spammer in this situation. Just use your best judgment. 😌
I'll join you. Let's get this comment out from the top. I also think the comment is simply not worth $0.43, so that's disagreement on rewards.
According to this math, a freewriter's post needs to make between 6 and 7 in payouts. Most make more than that. I say - time well spent!
