Please welcome our newest freewriters @arbitrarykitten @elizacheng and @jie28
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 @johnwjr7

This Week's Reward Pool
In Monday's prompt, I suggested trying donations for this week to share among all the freewriters. I am so grateful that you guys already have been responding.
Thank you @whatisnew, @deemarshall and @wandrnrose7 for the transfer and thank you @brisby and @omra-sky for throwing this week's share into next week's reward.
You all rock!!!
To be eligible for a share you must:
- 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.
And please, don't feel bad if you can't contribute or have other plans for your SBD. No obligations whatsoever.
Please visit and support each other!!

A question to you all: How long should I wait to drop a name from a list if they don't participate anymore? I don't want to send you to visit and find people who are not posting.
What do you think?

thank you for playing!!! :)
HI, this is today's entry: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ahmadmanga/freewrite
Below is what I could write in 5 minutes, but there's edited version in the post link above.
Playing Ultima Fantasy Online is what I do every night... This is my second year of playing and I became pretty famous...
Today is the day I'll ask Clare25 to marry me, it's just in-game marriage, but it's a huge step for someone like me who never had a girl in his 23 years of life, raised in a family full of men.
I didn't wait for her too much, she always plays this game at 2:30 in the morning, and when I asked her she said because she can't sleep.
Clare25 came and I asked her to marry me.
But she refused.
She said she is actauly a GIRL, what we mean A Guy In Real Life.

And I don't have an opinion yet on the list/name thing... I'm still trying to figure this out. I didn't expect it to be so hard to transition to a new social media platform... I'm feeling my age a little bit!!! :)
Not your age at all. It took all of us a while to figure it out. It is different and the how to guides are a bit hard to find. and when you have something figured out - it changes :) But you will get it soon enough and it keeps us young LOL
My brain could definitely use the exercise!!! I'm off to find more prompts! Thanks again for all of your help/time!
Good luck on Steemit! I love it here, but it took me a long time to find my way around, and I still learn something new everyday!
TaDa! Thanks for the push, Marianne! I'm trying to post more and this challenge really helps. I'm tweeting and you should be too with #amwriting :)

good idea!! that one get a lot of attention!!
You really don't want to know it.
hahaha - test us!! :)
I think he's right this time: there are things that are better left under cover. And with things I mean Marco. Look who's there @arbitrarykitten in da house! Welcome to you and to @elizacheng and @jie28 ;-)
Hi hi! Glad to be here!
You will enjoy this zoo with all kind of animals Eliza ;-)
😀 😉😻👍
I don't know. After all, we already know about you and your snack habits - in your basement. We might be able to take it :)
Lol...Dr. F3nix Lecter..listen who talks, the one with the lemony imaginary friend! 😁
:)
Just got to mine, @mariannewest. Here it is.
Thank you for the wonderful welcome! I really enjoyed yesterdays freewrite- my first :) I am most definitely going to do this on a regular basis.
As far as how long someone should be on the list, I think it really depends. Some people, like me, publish on Steemit daily. So in a case such as this, if they stop participating in freewrite for over a week I think its safe to say they have moved on or no longer have time.
For those who work outside of the home, and have a record of publishing only a few times a week on Steemit, then they should be given a bit of a longer time. You know, things happen- work, family, holidays, illness... Things that must be taken into account.
Thank you for your response!! And so glad you are enjoying the freewrites :)
hehehe here's my #freewrite for today!
