Day 24: 5 Minute Freewrite
Please welcome our newest freewriters @jayna @wildwoman @mydivathings and @preparedwombat
Many of our freewriters are new to the platform and get very few votes on their posts. Every day, I am inviting you to visit one and leave some comments and votes. Today, please visit @theprettysoul
If you don't know what a freewrite is, her is a link to the introduction post: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/writers-or-wanna-be-writers-wanted-be-free-freewrite
Prompt:
Let your imagination speak and hear what this little lemony character tells you
This little character is drawn by my friend @barbara-orenya. She is also running a writing challenge and asked me if the freewriters want to play. I think we do. Don't you?
- Set your timer for 5 minutes.
- Start writing whatever comes to mind when you see this picture.
- Use the hashtag #freewrite
- Publish your piece (include a link to this post if you wish)
Copy and paste your URL into the comment section of the prompt post.
- Or, if you don't want to publish your freewrite, just copy and paste as a comment under the prompt post
Then, or if you wish before you start writing, go to Barbara's Challenge post
Either post a link of your freewrite in the comments of her post or clean it up and expand it for Barbara's challenge. Two for one :) Pretty good, right?
edit: You may use the picture in your post but MUST give credit to Barbara @barbara-orenya and also link to her original post. This is the link: https://steemit.com/writing/@barbara-orenya/express-your-fancifulness-from-this-visual-prompt-whimsical-writing-challenge-
Thank you!!
Last Day of "The Plan"
Remember, today, November 12, is the last day. You have until 7 PM Pacific time to post a freewrite under at least 2 prompts from this week to qualify.
Here are the requirements:
For 7 days, starting Monday, November 6/2017 and ending Sunday, November 12/2017, I will share the SBD payout of the prompt posts with all of you who do the following:
- Post at least 2 freewrites in the 7 days
- Use the prompt - I will not accept posts which have nothing at all to do with the prompt. The idea is to write something new for this challenge.
- Leave a link to your freewrite or copy your 5 minute freewrite in the comments of the prompt.
- You must do all - I can’t hunt you all down to try to count you.
I will add up the SBD of the 10 prompts and divide it equally between all who have participated in at least 2 freewrites AND left the link in the comments.
You can post at each prompt until Sunday 7PM PST- that gives you a lot of time to get your 2 prompts in :)
The sharing will happen after the last prompt post-payout. Approx. 7 days after the Sunday prompt posts.

Thank you for the nice welcome! I love this because everyone has five minutes. It takes away all the excuses not to write. (Laughs maniacally.)
hahaha - agreed. That is what we are encouraging :) Some take longer and that is okay by me - as long as we get everybody writing and having a good time.... Glad you joined us!!

Today’s prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-25-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-bubbling
Yawp
Welcome to all the new writers! And thanks for the prompt!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@simgirl/day-24-5-minute-freewrite
Awesome. I'll like to join in. How do i start? @mariannewest
You write for 5 minutes what comes to your mind when seeing the prompt. Then either make a post of your freewrite or post it under the prompt.
There is a link to the introduction post in the write up above if you have questions.
Hi freewriter friends! Hi @mariannewest, today I did a bit of a digression and wrote about something else (although that creature is evidently high on MDMA or who knows what other kind of alien drug, hence the temptation of writing about it is strong!).
I won't go to the point of linking my last article, but I would love your comments on it, since it's a social theme - which I lived on my skin - and that touches each one of us. Thanks!
Little Starlight looked up from her favorite spot in the back corner of the garden and noticed a lot of activity happening along the far fence line. It appeared that the Wonkies had gathered there and she was very curious to see what they were doing.
Now that Autumn had arrived, and the leaves had fallen to the ground, Starlight had much more time on her hands, ( although it always seemed like she had more time on the hand with six fingers that she did on the hand was seven)
As she walked across the garden she kept being distracted by all of her favorite plants that were now settling in and getting ready for winter, and when she reached the Wonkie gathering, they told her they were preparing for winter, too. They had decided to build a house from stones and sticks they had gathered, and they invited Starlight to help with the decorating, because everyone knew that Beautifools had a better sense for beauty than Wonkies did. She immediately started gathing all the things she would need for the sunny yellow decorating scheme she had planned. They all agreed they couldn't wait to see it when it was finished!
