Hallo @shakkei,
Wirklich nett daß Du mein Artikel trotzdem gelesen hast. Ich bin auch kein 'native speaker' und ganz ehrlich weiß ich auch nicht ob ich alles so richtig aufgeschrieben habe.
Ich sollte was schreiben über reinkarnation.
Also was ich so ungefähr schrieb:
Ich werde auf alle Fälle nicht wieder reinkarnieren/wieder geboren worden, 13 mal reicht. Es kann schon sein das ich viel gelernt habe aber einmal neu geboren kann man sich das alles entweder nicht erinnern oder kein Mensch glaubt was Du erzählst. Würdest Du ein Todler glauben?
Ich bin schon alt geboren worden, war nie ein Kind und meine Freunden waren immer Erwachsenen. Jetzt da wo ich älter werde, sind meine Freunden junger. Vielleich have sie jetzt gelernt was Ich schon wußte oder interessiert es mich weniger?
Was Ich auf alle Fälle gelernt habe ist das man erst für sich selbst sorgen muß.
Bist Du unglücklich kannst Du einander nicht glücklich machen. Ein Mensch kann auch nicht (weg)geben was er selber braucht.
und... bevor Du ein ander hilfst frage Dich erstmal ab ob dieser Person das gleiche für Dich machen würdest (das Antwort kann sehr enttauschend sein).
Schönen 🌞igen Tag mit ☘ und ❤ wünsche ich Dir.

Ich wusste gar nicht dass du auch Deutsch sprichst! Das is ja prima. Vielleicht sollten wir den prompt auch in Deutsch machen. Was denkst du? Weiss nicht ob das gut ankommt weil viele Deutsche so ernst sind und alles perfekt haben wollen 🤪
Wir können es Mal versuchen ernsthafte Texte ist kein Problem oder? @mayb kann dann auch mal teilnehmen obwohl sie mir gerade 'grammarly' geraten hat 😉.
Ich muß nur was am keyboard ändern weil es andauernt alles in English oder Hölländisch ändert 😣

Ich kann es nicht glauben, das ich so viel Worter verstehen. Umlauts! Double S symbol. Ah, I can copy-paste: Ich muß nur was am keyboard ändern weil - and now my Vokabeln is dwindling. How fun to see German here!! @mariannewest you must miss hearing it?
Jetz habe ich die Geschichte auf Deutsch und auf Englisch gelesen. Ich habe Deutsch wenig gelesen oder gesprochen seit 1979. Heute ist es schweirig!
Schoen dass du mitmachst!! Hast du gesehen dass das Authorreading auch Deutsche Beitraege einlaed. Oh- mein Deutsch ist so schlecht geworden und ich brauche ein Deutsches keyboard LOL
Here they come to my favorite freewrites:
The first one used the prompt wine and is a short story written by @wordymouth and made me think. Would you let anyone watch you while you were drinking your wine? Where did this take place (at her place because of most women who are killed are killed at their own place by someone they knew) and why (why???) did it happen. If you know it leave me your answer. Enjoy the story!

My next recommendation is @myjob she used the prompt reincarnate. I read her freewrite right after I posted mine and she gave me a good laugh thanks to the long list of options she gave in what to reincarnate or why you better not do so.
By the way she surprised me she doesn't mind to reincarnate, although a dog's life doesn't sound great to her. What if the wrong person adopts you?

My 3rd recommendation is also with the prompt reincarnate. It is interesting to read how the writer of this content reincarnated in the present life. How the same body changed into a new body and how the soul had to get used to it and change into something new too.
If you want to know why read @fitinfun her freewrite.

The trouble with having time to read lots of freewrites is having so many from which to choose a few favorites. Here are three that really caught my attention.
@whatisnew's House of Swine poem is fun because it tells a story succinctly and in the form of poetry. I could just picture the woman whining about everything, and then having a few regrets many years later. I am in my sixties and can only hope I, too, have aged like fine wine.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@whatisnew/day-549-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-wine
@improv's weekend freewrite "A Family Story" is another favorite. I love the way he worked all three prompts into a smooth story. I particularly love the last line, which I am not going to quote here because you need to go read it for yourself.

There were at least three posts with the schoolhouse prompt that grabbed my attention, but I am going to pick just one to mention here, and that is @kimberlylane's gripping account of her own miserable school days complete with abusive teachers. It made me want to cry.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@kimberlylane/schoolhouse
Thanks so much SG! You write beautifully so I am sure you have aged like fine wine too. : )
I found a cute story written by our own @mariannewest. Bless her heart! Do you have problems with snails in your garden? You will find a fun way to get rid of them and make the kids happy as well. Of course you will want to make sure the kids don't bring the snails into the house. LOL!

I have two this week for the "reincarnate" prompt.
First is from @wakeupkitty who does not want to come back! "Enough is enough", she says, lol. This post is full of a lot of good advice we should all be following whether or not this is our one life to live.
https://steemit.com/freewriting/@wakeupkitty/freewriting-enough-is-enough-irwnwwoj
Second is by @stinawog, who shares her complex and scattered thoughts at the time of her father's passing. I guess it is not as much a favorite as a freewrite I just want to call attention to. I'm glad she was able to write this at such a difficult time.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@stinawog/5-minute-freewrite-reincarnate
Yes that's me and I mean it! Thanks for recommending me 😘

Thanks for the mention, @chireerocks!
Welcome. 🙂
I found all the freewrites so interesting and it’s hard to pick anyone out but I will mention a couple:
I’m blessed by @myjob. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@myjob/free-write-prompt-i-m-blessed
My Job brought to mind not only her own blessings but the blessings we have received from our ancestors.
@glenalbrethsen’s freewrite is another favorite. Six of the daily prompts were used in making his chilling story of a pregnant woman and husband seeking shelter as the baby is about to arrive.
