Day 313: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday- Prompt- Desert
You get up in the middle of the night and your mouth and throat feels like the Sahara dessert. You also find cotton and wood stuck in your mouth and throat.
You run to the sink, gargle and rinse with baby oil, desperate for a lubricant. However, the cotton soaked up all of the oil
When you think of he word “desert” what comes to mind first? Dry? Arid? No water? Stranded? See what @whatisnew has to say in this recent freewrite post.

Unsolved
It was irresistible, that unguarded clubhouse lit up like a beacon in the night. The legal term later brought up was ‘attractive nuisance’, like a pool left unfenced for any small child to wander up to and fall in. The children in question were all at least fourteen, old enough to know better, but children still.
Piecing it together after the fact was hard enough without the parents insisting that they and their lawyers be present for any questioning, which led to constant interjections and sidebars. “Why are you asking Timmy about that? He doesn’t know. Right, Timmy?”
Parents of minor teenagers interrupting an investigation? See how this plays out for a couple of boys involved in a disappearance of a female friend... and how does a UFO play into this story line? See how @sidequest runs with this writing challenge.

Strength Of The Heart: A Poem
Pain that bore down deep
Yet all she could do was weep
For there's a promise to keep
And so she must take the step
How much heartbreak can one person's heart really endure? How strong is your heart when you feel your life, love life to be exact, is failing? See how @riovanes explains and describes the strength of one's heart in this poem.

Real Men Who Can Find
Real men, who can find?
I have looked near, far and around.
Yet none seem to exist.
Real men do not show a lady his fist.
He always comes round with a flower.
He is always ready to praise and great love to shower
In this poem, @stbrians shares that chivalry is NOT dead. Opening doors to being attentive, see how can express their love, devotion and tenderness.

Dinner Is Served
Dinner calls forth raging stomachs
The sound of pots clanking
Stirs the insides
What a whimsical composition dedicated to dinner! Everyone can relate to this poem created by @ehisoria in this post. Dinner bells... growling bellies... it's all here!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!
Dear Qurites,
We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.
Write a post about Qurator.
Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.
Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.
Invite a friend.
Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.
There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:
| 1 | You refer a friend to Qurator | You sponsor a membership to your friend |
| 2 | Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username | You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username |
| 3 | Our team reviews the account | Our team reviews the account |
| 4 | Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote | Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote |
Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.
Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail
 | The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info |
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.
Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
