It really has been 1000 days of daily Freewrite prompts!
One very special person is at the heart of this amazing community….
@MarianneWest!
So many people wanted to say congratulations and thank you to @mariannewest*
*if I didn't contact you please don't be offended! I was keeping this a secret from Marianne so had to use off-blockchain methods of communication. Please leave your message in the comments below! Or write a post in the Freewriters Community!

@improv also deserves a big thank you!
Without him @mariannewest may never have started the daily prompts!
Thank you @improv!

"Freewrites aren't just about participating in a community or joining in on some challenge. It is about the liberation of expression. Being able to be you without discrimination. @mariannewest has watered some beautiful minds in that sense and am happy to know her."

Pocas veces nos detenemos unos minutos, para agradecer a las personas que nos brindan hermosos espacios para escribir. Este ejercicio de 5 minutos y otros que he visto creados y apoyados por la amiga @mariannewest, han sido maravillosos, aunque a muchos les parezca sencillos, requieren de creatividad a la hora de escribir. Simplemente para ti muchísimas gracias por la oportunidad y felicitarte por el día 1000 de este bonito proyecto. Al amigo Bruce @Felt.Buzz por incluirme para armar este sencillo acróstico.

"Without the freewrite and @mariannewest I wouldn't have just known how to fill my blog. Freewriters will always remain in my heart as the first welcoming family I found on Steemit, as an exceptional writing gym for a non-English speaker and as motivators to dare to write in English, moreover improvising. Thank you!"

"I really do not know how to go on without Freewrite prompts by @mariannewest. Everyday I check the daily prompts to get inspiration what to write and it really, like reallyyyy helps in writing block. And it encourages me to write without fearing being judged or fearing my writing is not good enough. Since I started writing using the prompts, I started enjoy writing without stress. Thank you so much Freewrite house aka Marianne and her team."

A message from @carolkean
Five-Minute Daily Freewrite has been a ray of sunshine in the darkest days of my time at Steemit (now Hive). Marianne has created an atmosphere of friendly fun and cooperation, minus the competitive and power-seeking atmosphere that seems to crop up everywhere else. Though she has no end of things to keep her busy in real life, including grandkids and gardening, Marianne made time for Freewritehouse. Nobody has worked harder to create incentives and rewards for new writers. Marianne offers encouragement to demoralized writers who've taken a beating elsewhere. The mission of Freewritehouse is to inspire and unblock the repressed writer. People who'd given up on writing have spread their wings and taken flight here. I count myself among them. After so many rejections and so many heavy-red-ink editors, I had quit writing too. I look back on the dozens of freewrites inspired by the daily prompts and think "I need to stick with it!" I need to keep believing in myself as a storyteller, even if my audience is much smaller than the New York Times best sellers. Thank you Marianne for your perpetual kindness and good cheer, and for being a beacon of light in a world full of people who'd tear each other down. Carol "Keangaroo"

Dear @Mariannewest,
Thank You for everything you have done when it comes to 'The Daily Freewrite'. If not for your encouragement I never would have learned how much fun it is to write and post stories. You opened up a whole world that to this day inspires me to be a writer. Thank you for being in my life when I needed you most.
Love,
Snook

Los buenos proyectos y las buenas obras perduran en el tiempo. Muy agradecido de que me permitieras formar parte de uno de los equipos más maravillosos de personas con un mismo interés: la escritura.

Para mi freewrites es un mundo donde se pueden fortalecer algunas debilidades, para mi la escritura, podemos realizar este ejercicio y no depender de corrector. Leyendo a los más experimentados en este arte. Me recreo por estos espacios, en un gran equipo nos hacen sentir en familia. Les debo confesar algo en una oportunidad me ayudaron para no desaparecer de esta plataforma.

It's Day 1000 of the daily freewrite! It's hard to believe that I started freewriting with the Freewrite House all the way back on Day 193... it seems so long ago now. Which I guess it is!
When I first saw the daily freewrite prompt I was a little bit scared of joining in. So many people were participating. Writing amazing things in such a short time span. I had no idea how to do it! How could I possibly write, non-stop, for five whole minutes and not have it be a giant nonsensical ramble?? But with encouragement from a prominent freewriter I finally took the plunge and Hook, Line and Stinker was born. (https://peakd.com/freewrite/@kaelci/hook-line-and-stinker-a-five-minute-freewrite)
After that day I was "hooked." :D
The daily freewrite has become a huge part of my blockchain blogging journey. I might not participate as often now as I used to but if it wasn't for the daily freewrite, @mariannewest, and the other wonderful freewriters, I wouldn't be the writer I am today. I also wouldn't have published my very first novel, Half Past the Moonfall, created thanks to a Freewrite House + NaNoWriMo mish-mash in 2018, and I wouldn't be releasing Vengeance come September. ALSO! The loveable Joey and cranky Jenny wouldn't exist. What kind of world would this be without that incompatible odd-couple??
A huge thank you to @mariannewest and the Freewrite House! I am eternally grateful. <3

thanks a lot to @mariannewest for coming up with the 5 minutes Freewrite Challenge and being so persistent. I couldn't believe that 5 minutes Freewrite Challenge is 1000 days old now! I started my first freewrite on the 26th day. Super funny post I have there. I never thought I can write story, but I did it with Freewrite. I even wrote a 14 parts stories... Yes. My first ever story named "Destiny". This is the Finale and in it has the links to all the other parts. I am totally amazed by what I can do. I couldn't have done it without the encouragement from Marianne and all other freewriters. Freewrite is really a great challenge for everyone! Happy Freewriting and Happy 1000 days old to 5 Minutes Freewrite Challenge! Love you!!!

Marianne, congratulations on day 1000 of the #Freewrite daily prompt.! Many times over the years when I felt stuck for an idea to write about, or needed to dust off the rust in my brain, your prompts were a life saver! Your enthusiasm and encouragement is beyond compare, and your energy is eternally wicked awesomesauce! Thank you for everything you've done for our blockchain home(s). You ROCK!

A message from @FreedomToWrite
When I was first introduced to the freewrite community, I was an aspiring writer who was terrified of anyone seeing my writing. It was quite a predicament! But my husband, @freedompoint, encouraged me to really give it a try. My first prompt, was 'red scarf', and I felt like I was shaking when I hit post. But the response I got from the community was beautiful and kind, and I was encouraged to do another and another. Thanks to all the effort Mariannewest has put into the community, building, sowing into it, and shaping it, it has become this magical place that will always from like home. I'm astonished that she has been able to post a prompt everyday for 1000 days! No matter how busy she got, or what life has thrown at her, she hasn't forgotten us freewriters. Thank you Mariannewest! You have been a bright spot in my world. I'm no longer afraid to share my writing, and that is a gift I will take with me forever!

A message from @WonderWop
When I first joined Steemit.com I would write about coins or guns or even give tips on how to mail packages or letters, but I never really had any readers or upvotes. Then one day I ran across a daily prompt from @mariannewest and I was hooked. I could write for five minutes, not worry about spelling or punctuations, and be surrounded by a group of Freewriters who supported each other. I joined in on her contests, became Uncle Bruni, and wrote everyday until March of 2020 when I found out I had the very rare Stage 4 Appendiceal Cancer. I've tried to write a Freewrite at least once a week, but I seem to be praying more in my spare time. I hope that when I beat this cancer I'll be able to Freewrite daily once again. Thank you @mariannewest for all you do for us, I love you! two_hearts Uncle Bruni

A message from @justclickindiva
I first learned about @mariannewest and the Freewrite prompts from a friend on Hive who suggested I take a look to see if it fit with my love of fiction writing. Perfect match. Being accepted into the Freewrite Community was a turning point for me in my writing. A prompt every day to choose from. Then I noticed the weekend and single option prompts. I was in writing heaven. I'll never make it through the entire list of writing prompts you made available to all of us willing to take the challenge. Giving of one's self to help others discover, explore, and reach their potential is the most selfless act anyone can undertake. You made the Freewrite Community a safe haven for my writing. I'll never forget the Freewrite Community's response to my post: https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@justclickindiva/stubborn-5-minute-freewrite-day-946-sunday-prompt-gout

A message from @hlezama
To @mariannewest on her 1000th day of freewrite: Congratulations, MarianneWest for such an accomplishment. We have to admire consistency. It's never easy to stay on task for long. It has been about 15 months since I first tried the 5-minute freewrite challenge. This is the first text I produced (we were all on steemit then) https://steemit.com/freewrite/@hlezama/blessed-or-trapped-or-5-minute-freewrite-tuesday-prompt-born . Even though I have not been able to participate consistently in the challenge, I must say that the single-prompt and the three-prompt weekend freewrite have considerably helped me gain confidence in my writing and trust the developing potential of this kind of exercise. About 7 months ago I did my first weekend freewrite (https://steemit.com/freewrite/@hlezama/the-weekend-freewrite-or-sick-mission) and even though writing fition does not come easy for me, I have developed a liking for it. Whenever the muses and time agree, I give it a try. I want to thank @mariannewest for having built a community so encouraging and supportive around her freewrite challenges. Lots of blessings and long live FreeWrite!

If there is one person who has influenced my writing in recent years it is Marianne. I came to Steem to try to get back into my fiction writing and I found the five minute freewrites a few weeks later. From that very first post I made, Marianne has been a constant source of support, going way beyond just freewrite comments. She welcomed me into the Freewrite House community, a “place” I’ve come to consider my home online wherever it may be.
Her dedication to posting the daily freewrite prompts is amazing and incredible. It’s hard to find anyone or any organization that sticks to something for 1,000 days in our fast moving world. She inspires me and my writing. I’m looking forward to seeing freewrites for another thousand days!
Thank you Marianne and the Freewrite House for all the support and opportunity you’ve provided!

A message from @deeanndmathews
About those freewrite posts ... they were where I at last found a place on Steem to consistently create and be supported if not always rewarded heavily at first. But every day, the freewrite posts gave me an opportunity to show and hone my writing skill, and get feedback -- so that today, 15 months later, I am in a totally different place as a creative in general. Freewrite was the anchor.
Dear Marianne: It has been a long and difficult journey to the 1000th post. We all know that. We all know you don't have to put up with everything you have put up with on the journey from Steem to Hive, and occasionally "steemy" behavior here on Hive. You did it for us anyway. THANK YOU!

Felicidades a @mariannewest por llegar a los 1000 días de diversión. Todo mi aprecio para ella.
Thank you @Mariannewest! I got comfortable with writing, thanks the daily Freewrite.
Thanks for encouragement too. You are all shades of awesomeness❤🌻
Congratulations to the fabulous @mariannewest for providing freewrite prompts for 1000 days! That is no small accomplishment. My first freewrite was on Day 109, with the prompt "yard sale." My participation has been erratic, but it has always been reassuring to know there was a prompt waiting for me if I needed a boost to get me writing. I have been encouraged by the freewrite community, and by @mariannewest. It's a great bunch of people, and we are all indebted to this great lady for keeping us going.
Woo hoo!! It's a cause for great celebration! Well done, pulling this together, @felt. buzz. I'm so glad to be a part of it and to cheer on @mariannewest - an inspiration to us all!
