Day 1334: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: let the words tell you
Just an FYI. I am even more off-line for a little while. My husband is home (he works in a different State) and we have many plans. Will be back more after he goes back to his work

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
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. [10 fast fingers](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english
I have a favor to ask. If you are on YouTube, can you please subscribe to my Sustainable Living Podcast channel. I am not asking you to watch, just to subscribe. I want to be able to do live Yoga classes and need more subscribers before I can access that function. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA73SuaMBnBIaB5OdiL_y6Q

It's a world of fantasy, mystery, excitement. But it can also be dramatic and romantic. Even informative. It doesn't matter what's your cup of tea, you will find it in books. There is a story to entertain you that will feel like it was made with no one else in mind. Pick it up, be captivated, let the words tell you of a world you want to hear about.
Waiting before the doctor will see you suddenly happens in the blink of an eye, or the flip of a page. Bathroom time will be much more enjoyable. The best of it is, because you can do it in moments you'd otherwise idle around anxiously, you're not losing anything by carrying around a pocket book. You're only gaining wisdom. The experience of so many lives are added to your own by reaching out to the works of others.
Dive into the comfortable unknown. Security will never leave your side, even though the appetite for more might swallow you whole in a very enjoyable manner.
