Please welcome our newest freewriters @isaganispeaks @arkayani
Every day, I am inviting you to visit one and leave some comments and votes. Today, please visit
Prompt: Awakening
This prompt is inspired by @f3nix
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.

Staying Legal
This is an excellent article by @dmcamera on how to use images legally. A must read!!
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
Our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has a business here on Steemit. Several editors are offering to edit and format your post for a small fee. Check out their intro post
Our 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.
Check out @ghasemkiani if English is not your first language. He explains many idioms. Often to use those correctly is the biggest struggle when using a foreign language. He uses #idioms-tutorial
If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us!
DTube
The challenge is to read your freewrite and make a video of it. Please feel free to edit your stories as much as you wish.
Here is the challenge video
@felt.buzz https://steemit.com/dtube/@felt.buzz/0viza9es
@mariannewest https://steemit.com/dtube/@mariannewest/i57961gs
And @snook has a lot of them. So good!!
Just remember that Dtube is still in Beta and sometimes things don't work. Just come back after a little while and try again... and drop a link in the comments so I can feature you in the new Dtube section of the prompt.
Let's use #Dtubefreewrite for our readings so we can find each other!
Discord

Thanks so much for posting these daily #freewrite prompts! They're a great creative outlet! Please feel free to check out my crack at today's prompt "Awakening" and let me know what you think =)
LOL! Santa Claus judges if the children were good or naughty, but what if he's the one to be naughty?

very creative freewrite today, with so many ways it could go! i had to go the creepy route myself, the second I read 'awakening' my mind couldn't get out of a sci-fi kinda mood. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@the-real-coral/freewrite-prompt-awakening
