@swissclive, sorry to be jumping in here but I would just like to say.......
The #freewrite that @mariannewest runs is not a competition. It is an initiative that @mariannewest made to get people writing every day. There is no prize for writing and posting your original story made from the prompt she gave us that day.
It is, of course, your contest to run as you see fit and you are doing it out of kindness to help people. For that many are grateful for what they can earn by writing great stories and submitting them to you. I just wanted to clear up the misconception about what the #freewrite group really is.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and for helping so many Steemians achieve their goals.
That’s great and thanks for clarifying about freewrite. As I said, it was a nice piece about dogs. It is no doubt great for the freewrite initiative. I am more than happy to see someone use both tags if appropriate. However, this piece, however talented, just isn’t fiction. Sadly this means it is not really meant to be in an area asking for fictional stories. No problem with leaving it here though.
