I have posted in #freewrite at least weekly since a few weeks after it started. I was skeptical about it and tried it because I know @mariannewest from tsu and other places and wanted to support her effort. She was a tiny minnow at that time and I did not give her a lot of chance to succeed. I've seen many other initiatives fail when they are not supported by big people here.
But surprise! Freewrite has flourished and helped so many get started steeming.
Key things I like for about freewrite for steemit in general
- People can start just by posting a comment to the post. This is so helpful in the first weeks when simply making a post is so hard
- Marianne's daily post gives all kinds of help and links so minnows can succeed
- Freewriters support each other and actually visit, upvote, and comment on other freewrites.
Key things I like for about freewrite for me specifically
- When I am brain dead and want to post something - I can freewrite.
- When I freewrite I get new ideas for my other posts.
- I see how others freewrite and get inspired.
I'm so happy to see this new effort and hope for support from above. Steemit is a hard place to succeed and freewrite is one of the bright spots.
