Here's mine using the most dangerous writing app.
I am thinking beach too :) But we live close to the ocean... https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-54-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-rain
I knew I had to do it first or after, I had to dip my toe on this frozen water of the most dangerous writing app so..here's my bullsh*t (have mercy, consider I'm not mother tongue and please forget soon this thing :-P)
so true! @f3nix and no, this is not as polished as your posted ones BUT I love that you didn't have time to overthink anything and what was written was just raw emotion!
Bravo! for being brave enough to post it here!!
Thank you dear @snook ..in a way i don't like so much to show my "naked" thoughts, im not sure I'm going to repeat it or maybe I may switch it in silly-toughts mode ..you know.. :-)
I DO, very much so! why I loved that you were brave enough to post it!! @f3nix
Now when are you winning a billion $$$ so we all get that vacation? 😇
Last time I checked my cryptos at most I can offer you a good pizza .. for now :-P but let's give time to time!
Absolutely love it! and I know that I don't want to be a buddha - maybe have more tranquil moments like that - but life is way too interesting. And the trick is to let go of the irons keeping us locked up and jump into the freedom. When I get there, if ever, I'll let you know how that adventure turned out....
In fact Marianne in the meantime I was writing it, I was already doubting about it (the buddha part). Thank you so much for your advice.. I feel that we can learn a couple of good things from eastern philosophy but tasting life with passion remains always the best way :-)
But that is what I love about the freewrites - at least the ones which are flowing for me - sometimes, we explore thoughts, directions and write it down and know that it is not really what we want!! For me, that is huge. I always see so many possibilities and then think I SHOULD do something - and not really get in touch if I want to do it.
Exploring is the right word..we wander inside ourselves and sometimes we are even capable to challenge the structures that blur our true spirit. To understand what we really want is not something easy I guess...
OK I decided to share with you my free write for todays prompt since I already have my posts for today prepared and dont have any photos to go with my waffling words to make a post to share so will share here as I think you said was one to do
Freewrite Salty Air
Ohh the sweet sell of the Salty air as one walks along a sandy beach, the fresh salty breeze blowing into your hair and face is so refreshing and revitalizing.
I for so many years during my traveling days lived far from the ocean and missed it so much.
So when I discovered the City I know live n on the coast of Connecticut it was a simple decision o move there and be within minutes of many beaches.
Even In winter I try to visit the Beach at least once a week, the fresh Salty air to me feels like an elixir and makes one feel so much better even if becaus of the cold its a very brief visit
Some say also that the Ionizing effect of walking barefoot on the sand is very beneficial health wise and I used to walk barefoot on the beach all the time,
Now it has me wondering why I seldom walk barefoot on the beach anymore, perhaps it's just habit with for so many years not being near the water, next summer I must make a real effort to spend time walking the beaches barefoot and getting the max benefits from my time by the water.
Looks up and have a minute to spare and wondering where i go to from here, anyone who has followed me on Steemit or other sites for a while will know how much I love being by the shore and breathing in the Salty air while taking photos on the beach as I share so many posts with sea shots, probably so many people get sick of seeing them
And the time is up which mercifully for you Kamran’s there is no more to read ;)
Thanks for these prompts they are helping me to open up my writing a little and will help with time to improve my regular posts I do believe
yeahhhhhhhhhh :D you tried again!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm So proud of you!! and I loved that you shared a part of yourself with all of us too!!
Great Job! :D
Thanks
I have been doing them most days since my first one a few days back but had been keeping them to myself
Decided to share this one here today not quite sure why 😂
Good post @tattoodjay ! I wish I wasn't in this foggy winter and be instead in that beach you portraied so well with your free thoughts
Thanks Kindly,
Writing is somehting I am not comfortable with but working on improving on here;)
The best place for a booster to your creativity and writing skills believe me ;-)
For sure for sure
thank you so much for sharing this!! You know, I was thinking too that I haven't been walking barefoot on the beach for a long time - or even have gone to the beach. I kind of decided during my freewrite that I need to do that!! And yours gave me another push towards selfcare!! yay!! Thank you for that!
Thanks,
I did enjoy this Free write a lot actually, and am now missing being able to walk barefoot as its too cold but come next spring I will be ;)

Welcome and congrats for your first sparkle of freewritian creativity! You will soon understand that this sh*t is highly addictive ;-)
Thanks so much f3. I don't know about addictive. I am addicted to my guitar much more than I am addicted to this computer.
Ecco molto meglio così ;-)
this is a good post to save somewhere and read all the resources - with time lol https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@inquiringtimes/the-welcoming-contest-round-1-usd50-in-prizes-how-to-links

😜 HA! :D but I'm missing the bunnies so I have a feeling they will return soon! or I hope they do!! Hoping I don't have to wait until Hubby goes back to work for them to show up!😇
Salty Air... as you might imagine, that took me back to one of my favorite 'living on the boat' memories!

Also, I keep meaning to ask. Why is it that we shouldn't vote for a while if we're under 90%? I try to pay attention, but I was wondering what I'm missing as to the 'why' of that.
I really should make a post on this - and will.
Basically, with each vote, you lose some of your voting power ~ 2%. It takes about 2 + hours to get back up to 100%. If you vote 10 times, your voting power is at 80% and it takes 24 hours to get back up to 100%.
Every time you lose voting power, your vote is worth less - even though you are voting at 100%. That means that you give less to the person you are voting for and also get less in curation rewards. Especially if you don't have much steempower, if your voting power gets too low - your vote doesn't benefit you much. If you go to steemworld.org you can see what is going on with your account :) And if you are below 500 steempower, by default, all your votes are 100% votes.
