This is a good initiative, as it encourages community support among the freewriters. I nominate the freewrite by @tristancarax as it talks about the human experience and how we can truly be free from the societal programming.
I believe humans have gone through a lot of socio-political evolution throughout the millennial and in our search for comfort, we have built our own walls of prison around our mind, our spirituality and our humanity. I enjoyed this freewrite because it triggered me to dream about possibilities outside my current human experience.

Thank you for participating and an excellent recommendation!!
Common, over and over again I'll give it up to the two amazing guys and leave the #freewrite community to deal with them, it's no one but @felt.buzz and @byn .
But I'll go with @felt.buzz this time with his latest post https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/predictions-a-5-minute-freewrite
His ability to continue a prompt from previous prompt is so awesome, and he's the first guy on the Steemit blockchain to combine two to three challenge under one roof and make a sweet porridge out of it. Oh, I forgot to tell you guys I got to know of so many writing challenge through @felt.buzz and he has inspired me a lot on so many things

Bruce brought you to the freewrite, right? He sure is a great guy!!
Yikes, I dropped one in the wrong place. I would have to say, this story by @marie-jay, leaves so many different feelings wrapped up in one story. It starts off with an excited little girl wanting her nails done like her mommy. To the sadness which has overtaken a mother, who can't bare the loss of her child. Absolutely love this. Here is her link.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@marie-jay/sometimes-you-need-claws-fiveminutes-freewrite It was written with the prompt #nails.

Both places are the right place!! Good to have the link for the digest as well :)
Oh, good to know that. Thank you. :)
I agree on the share of SBI! Something I would most definitely want a part of and so I try my luck.
This one from @felt.buzz made me wonder what the "thing' watching me was... To get you curious in 50 words, is pretty awesome... and @felt.buzz has a flare for it, so no surprise
@alimamasstory's Weekend Freewrite was also a good read. Taming the Beast of 3 prompts, she tied it in quiet cleverly especially the The Dramatic Twist as the prompt itself wasn't.

Loved her weekend freewrite!! and we all know how the freewrite house feels about Bruce!!!
My favorite #freewrite this week came from @byn who always makes me think and consider. However, this week she made me cry. "...and hearing those horrifying, desperate screams echoing through our old house. My own screams that haunted me still, knowing that he had chosen to leave." Such a powerful end to a story of a woman wrapped up in feelings of loss, guilt, and anger.
@byn pulls you into her writing, which is often dark, but it's that darkness pushing the story forward with such gusto and emotion. I really like her #freewrites, especially this one titled Desolation.
1 @wordymouth
We agree!!! Byn is a most powerful writer and surely knows how to touch your heart!! (mw)

I read a story from @girlbeforemirror on the prompt "cane". I liked the way she put a twist on the word for her story. Also, the illustrations added a special touch to her post. I'm hoping she becomes a regular #freewriter again, because I would like to read more from @girlbeforemirror.
2 @wonderwop
We hope so too!! She is a most amazing writer and it would be wonderful to see more of her freewrites!!!
My favorite #freewrite came from @byn. Her author reading of her weekend freewrite Fate Worse Than Death was haunting, emotional and byn's awesome reading only added to the effect. Definitely not for lovers of a happy ending, the twist at the end sent shivers up my spine as well as pulling at my heart strings. I’m not a crier, but I very nearly shed a tear. Loved it!

We all agree with you!
My recent favorite freewrite was written by @alimamastory for Day 189: Prompt-cane: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@alimamasstory/5-minute-freewrite-prompt-cane
It is about 2 older men with different personalities and they were best friends. One of them passed away. Before he died, he left a gift for his best friend along with a funny note, and gave instructions with his family to give it to his friend on his birthday. The thoughtful gift made his best friend laugh again and I am sure it also made him feel like his best friend would always be with him. Gifts like this one is priceless.

I must have missed this one - thought I had read them all. Thank you!! (mw)
Ok, so I really liked this freewrite by @ddschteinn! It was this fantastic interaction between and grandma and their adult grandchild as they went through airport security. I love the generations that came before me and all their wisdom...and all of the antics that can happen because times are different now! @ddschteinn showcased this beautifully with so much humor!

Great choice!!! I wanted a sword like that!!
I would like to pick @thetimetravelerz
for a freewrite https://steemit.com/freewrite/@thetimetravelerz/my-aunt-at-99-my-freewrite-poem
It is a poem about an aunt who has turned 99
I have picked this piece because it brings alive memories of my grandmother and how alive and full of exuberance was the grand old lady. I do not know if the lady in the poem is a real person or a fictional character but it does hint at a way one must try to live. Specially for me as I read it sitting in my office on a dull Saturday afternoon.
