Day 113: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: ski

Please welcome the newest freewriter @plumandrain!! Visit, comment and vote on their posts. We all love that, right?

Many of you participated in the Day 100 We-Write and had tons of fun. But I believe nobody had as much fun as @snook. Not only did she trick @deaconlee (who had said that he was NOT going to do a WE-Write) into writing with her, she also created this fun video!! It is a must see!!

Get your popcorn ready and watch @snook 's masterpiece

Or better, get your dancing socks on and go for it!!

Here is @snooks excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure

And @improv's input:

Two things I do a little differently. I just type "timer" into google and it pops up a 5-minute timer. I also type directly into steemit. I also rarely use a photo, don't I? So that's three things.

Please read, comment and vote (if you have voting power) on each others freewrites as much as you can. Especially if you are new to the platform, you will be surprised how many friendships are formed by reading and commenting on each other's work!
