FreeWriteHouse Party Day 23: Please Let Us Not Be SCRATCHed
39 started on this journey called FreeWrite House 200 Day Party. It was to celebrate FreeWrite on Steemit for that many days. And the only way to celebrate all that writing was to write some more.
A call to action and a plan was laid out. Write for 50 days straight with a given prompt and a selfie that relates. And within 24 hours the post and selfie needs to be dropped on the given post @FreeWriteHouse. All who make it to the end, share the prize which will keep growing til the end. Sounded doable.
Some had become mighty familiar with writing (there is a reason why there was a party because some FreeWriters had actually written every single day for those 200 days.... faint) and some had found out about it just hours before the journey began.
But every single one was as ready as the next. Some had a plan on how they would tackle the journey ahead. Some were a little more relaxed, ready to take on the challenges as they came.
But 50 days is a long time. That’s almost two months. And some unexpected events were bound to happen.
The internet plays a big role on this journey because it is a journey connected over cyberspace. And it was time sensitive. No compromise on the 24 hours. And the custodian (@mariannewest) of the challenge even with a big heart had to make difficult decisions to keep it fair and just for all players.
After only 3 weeks and 2 days, the 39 has dropped to 26. 26 still typing, texting and taking pictures. Carefully checking if all rules of this journey, has been adhered to so they can make it to the finish line.
So far we have lost some for reasons we will never know. We lost one due to a school project that needed a lot of attention and time and that marked the end of the journey.
We lost one because the rules were not followed through, and as sad as it was we had to see her go. The internet did act up for another and she dropped out by missing the deadline by 1 minute.
The first week for me went just fine. And then the challenges started. Travel to two different countries to visit family popped up. I am 3 days away from the end of my travels and every day since it started I have been frantically checking to make sure my name is still on the “made-it” list!
As the 26 of us, keep at it, heading for Day 50, I want to wish everybody all the best. May none of us be scratched out!!
Check out @mariannewest and @freewritehouse to find out more.
This is my submission for the 200 Day Party Challenge where we need to write one freewrite every single day for 50 days. Read other stories inspired by the prompt scratch here!!

Resident cat here, all wet from the rain while delivering today's prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-230-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-wet
Thank you @whatisnew for the prompt
Would you believe it has been raining on and off for the last couple of days which is a damper on our wine, chocolate and cheese tasting plans .... gahhhh
Have to say it’s amusing that the resident cat brings me the prompt “wet” 😊
My pleasure! : ) What bad timing for the rain and I hope it ends soon.
HaHa! I am so happy to have made you smile. : ) My cat loves the rain...crazy cat! : )
Hahaha ... not your typical cat ... I like it 😊
