A Favorite Freewrite
Every Tuesday, you have a chance to win a membership to Steem Basic Income, SBI, at the Freewrite House.
Try to win one, my friends. An everlasting vote on your posts is nothing to sneeze at.
Also, keep in mind that we do the same thing on Friday's for Poetry: Recommend Your Favorite Poem Friday.
We want to make it super easy for you. Your task is to tell us in the comment section about one - or more- freewrites of others you have read in the last couple of days you really liked. Yup, not your own!!
Remember the comment must be at least 50 words long - no upper limit 🤪
See the rules below for details.
In an ideal world, you also give that person a nice upvote - but we are not going to check on that.
So, to be entered into the drawing, tell us about a freewrite you really liked and why. Choose from the last couple of days so others can go, visit inspired by your description, and leave a vote.
Win, Win, Win!!!

This week I came across a very truthful story from @felt.buzz about nursing homes. I have a friend of mine that has MS and when I go visit her, I watch the staff interact with the residents, it's not a very pleasant visit and I often leave there depressed. I always wondered if that's how they treated my mamma when I wasn't there watching. Great story to open ones eyes @felt.buzz 🙏

My favourite this week was the "do over" weekend write by @byn. https://steemit.com/weekendfreewrite/@byn/do-over-what-would-you-choose-weekend-freewrite
This got me thinking about all those decisions we make in life, that at the time don't seem big, or they do but not life changing. But what if we made a different choice, how different would life be? Sometimes, having a do over would be interesting, to see in some parallel dimension or something how things would have turned out if we had chosen differently.
My other nomination is @sue-stevenson's post https://steemit.com/freewrite/@sue-stevenson/greetings-from-phraseos-5-minute-freewrite-260-chalk.
It was such a unique and different way of looking at all those commonly used phrases we throw around, often thoughtlessly. I loved how unusual and creative it was, and was delighted to see it get a @curie upvote.
Aww, fanks! :D

Here is mine:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@wonderwop/day-263-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-grapevine
This post I particularly read while I was finding the prompt. This is a small sweet post that again bring me near the nature.
In this post author said that Grapevine is a place. He described its geographical location and introduced a desire to live in such a place where no vehicles are present to hurt your ears, no pollution to trouble you, not so much overcrowding of apartments, only there exist beautiful trees and nature to overwhelmed you in its antique beauty.
Thank you @saun 🙏
You welcome! Gentleman!!

I'm nominating this post by @botefarm
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@botefarm/the-true-vine
I saw the freewrite grapevine prompt and did not think I had anything for it except for that song we all know. But reading this post gave me memories I might write about later.
@botefarm is a Nigerian farmer. He translated a nursery rhyme from his childhood about picking the fruit while leaving the vine. Then he relates this idea to passing on knowledge amongst farmers and finally to "bearing fruit to those whom we meet along life's journey." And all of this is wrapped up into lessons from the bible I really needed to hear today.
This post gives me all the reasons I stick with steemit against all common sense. It is the connections with people and thoughtful work like this that keep me here.

I would be so sad if you left Steemit!! It will go up again!!
For your consideration:
For favorite freewrite of the week, I’d like to nominate @michellpiala’s piece, Who Told You?
I enjoyed the way in which her writing took me on a moving journey along the gossipy grape-vining loop that poisons along its way, and at the same time the feeling of being the voyeur, all too happy to hear the juicy secrets and details of other peoples’ lives, mishaps and failures as long as we aren’t being affected.
I like confessional writings and that @michellpiala wasn’t afraid of taking the reader along the dark, dizzying corridors of frustration, anxiety, paranoia and pain.
Awww! This is sweet @kimberlylane. Thank you!

I have a couple.
This one is someone I haven't read before, but the freewrite she did about gossip just gutted me. She used such unique expression to convey the reality of how gossip and lies can affect us in so many ways. I am astounded that she had captured so much in so few words. This one is so worthy of attention! This is so amazing. Incredibly intense and emotionally raw.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@michellpiala/who-told-you-or-5-minutes-free-write-grapevine
This one is another glimpse into reality for some people. The story of a mother told through observation, bringing her gritty reality vividly to mind. I could almost smell the room, the desperation, the agony of decision. Wonderful writing by @tezmel

Thank you @eroticabian! you make my heart warm and full. <3
@Tezmel you really did good. :)

Thank you!
I had reason to seek out @marie-jay and came across her weekend freewrite. As I read, I was immediately transported into the hopes and dreams and then confusion of the parents.
And then there was the protagonist who had his own demons to fight. Which part of the wizard's tale will he fulfill?
Find out here the tale of the Night Rider.

Another one I also came about but I saw she has been nominated by a few below. She is none other than @michellpiala.
As I read her piece of freewrite on grapevine, here is the link https://steemit.com/freewrite/@michellpiala/who-told-you-or-5-minutes-free-write-grapevine, I was literally blown away by the way she creatively brought out the piece. Who told you? had led me into more scenes of the one suffering from the grapevine - the lies and critics and rumours. I literally want to give her a trophy for 'chomping' out such a great piece. By the way, her handle with the 'piala' means trophy in my language (Malay). GOOD JOB @michellpiala.
@iamjadeline, its as if your beautiful words from last time wasn't enough, here you go again making my heart big and happy because of your overwhelming support.

I would like to nominate @jk6276's freewrite on parachuted. Here is the link: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@jk6276/httpssteemitcomfreewritemariannewestday-262-5-minute-freewrite-sunday-prompt-parachuted-my-8th-freewrite
As I read, he managed to bring me into the world of different scenarios, just like in a movie, how those food and supplies parachuted but ended up landing on cars or on pool of flood, & etc, not reaching the people who need them. Just as you were sinking in those scenarios, then he brought you to the epitome. Supplies, most of the time, do reach those in need. What a way to end his freewrite.
Thank you @iamjadeline for reading my post. I often end up thinking through all sorts of scenarios and then hopefully coming to a happy conclusion.
