Day 35: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: bittersweet
Please welcome our newest freewriters @cecicastor @btcnoodle and @tegoshei
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 @dmcamera She is not quite as low in funds as some of the others, but she is offering a photographie 101 course I want you to check out! We all need to get good at taking pictures for this platform.
Prompt: bittersweet
- Set your timer for 5 minutes
- Start writing
- Use the hashtag #freewrite
- Publish your piece (include a link to this post if you wish)

Contests you can enter
I think you all know @improv He is running a pun contest and [I think you need to check it out!!](https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/punday-monday-22-join-us-prize-announcements-for-210
@chrisroberts is running a poetry contest. I know that some of you are up for that!! click here
If you are running a contest or know of one this group needs to find out about, please let me know
Writing help
Our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has a business here on Steemit. Several editors are offering to edit and format your post for a small fee. Check out their intro post
And 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
Finally, 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.
Money
If you have under 100 in your account, please let me know so I can feature you. Just put "less than 100" when you leave your prompt.
Here is one way to get a small upvote. It is part of the minnow support project and has this weekly initiative.
And remember @rexusmo- He has a daily post with a giveaway. Comment with a link to a post you a proud off and you might get a reward.
Also, I would love it if you all check out each others #freewrite and spread some love :)

"The day after the funeral, the package arrived. Such a bittersweet thing.
It sat on the entryway table, the handwriting, so familiar, that old fashioned cursive scrawl so carefully written across the top. Her name called out to her every time she walked by. She couldn't bring herself to open, although at times she ran her fingers over the letters spelling out her name."
