if you have a business on Steem you want to share, let me know. I will start a dedicated section in the resource portion of the prompt posts.
Prompt: Eagle Scout
brought to you by @deaconlee
remember - just write about what comes to your mind when you see the prompt. It doesn't have to reflect on life 😄
- Set your timer for 5 minutes
- Start writing
- Use the hashtag #freewrite and #freewritepoetry if it turns out to be poetry
- 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.
If your freewrite turns into a poem, please use in addition to #freewrite also either #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest so we can find you!
- Or, if you don't want to publish your freewrite, just copy and paste as a comment under the prompt post.
If you don't know what a freewrite is, here is a link to the introduction post.
Here is @snook's 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!
A Contest I found You Might Want to Enter.

Bandwidth Problems

Spanish Freewrite Initiative
The Daily Prompt is now also being published in Spanish and a Spanish language community is forming.
@latino.romano is the leader of the community and I am sure, he would love for you to stop by and say hello - in any language. If you are bilingual, please feel free to publish you freewrite in both languages and drop the link at both Daily Prompt posts.

Writing help
A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Just remember that is is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link
Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stop and think - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over.
A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. 10 fast fingers

Mi aporte amigos:
The eyes of fire of the eagle guard the whole meadow around it. Nothing escapes the bird, it is a magnificent watchtower and fearsome hunter. Attentive to the slightest movement detects a slight sway in the leaves of the brush.
The eagle is launched on the fly as a good explorer and manages to see the silhouette of its prey. It takes a few minutes to reach from above like a beast. But the disappointment slips by the claws. Although the bird is the queen of the sky, its prey, is the most skilful escapist.
Return to the place of surveillance, to explore the meadow again, waiting for another opportunity:
