5 Minute Freewrite: Remote control, and distant dystopian
TV is the first thing I think when I saw this prompt Remote.
We don't have an actual TV anymore because we stopped watching regular tv.
We watch netflix or other streaming instead - like live news.
I've been watching a lot of netflix lately, following dramas, it's been the thing to do since steemit went down.. and since I haven't finished the drama yet I'm still watching haha..
But thought I should do a few writing prompts to get my juices flowing on the days I don't have time to do video recording or editing.
Remote also reminds me of a far away distant place, somewhere noone knows.. In a way steemit is a place that is remote, not many people know I am here. I post like it's my second life.. sometimes I want it to be separate but other times I want to have other people join too..
I've tried getting others to join though but it's just too hard - hard to grasp, hard to join, not as easy as social media is.
With the internet being so fast these days we are spoilt by the speeds and when we join something such as steemit it seems to be so slow and backward. It really takes a certain type of person to join and persevere in steemit :)
We all here are people who are into these niche places, who want to earn from creating, but who believe in crypto. People who won't mind the backward ways of joining a slower service, who will persevere to make a community happen! We are the future!
(oops the timer didn't make a sound.. haha.)
Actually I think I never pressed start?! but my phone says I've been typing for a few minutes.. not yet five... lol
Back to it! So we are remote, and steemit may seem like a fantasy or dystopian world to a lot of people!
I had been watching some dystopian films lately and it's dawned on me that when we talk about steemit it seems like we're talking scifi - steem, crypto, blockchain, powering up, witnesses, hard fork?? haha

So glad that you decided to write with us!! And it is so true that it is hard to get people to join Steemit
I think if we had a simple mobile solution that also incorporated a crypto credit card for simple use of Steem for payments we would see many more people willing to try it out, I loose people as soon as they start asking about how to get rewards out of the platform.

agreed!
How does this work? Write about the picture and word within it?
We are on the cutting edge of Steem-Fi here 😉

You go to the page of @mariannewest daily and get the prompt. Write for 5 minutes (or cheat and go longer) and post! You provide your own photo or poster or some people use marianne's. This is a pretty casual thing about rules :) There are also some opportunities to pick your favorite freewrites each week and win that way. I hope you will give it a try.
It is daily, is it like a daily word or sometimes a phrase? This kinda suites my “word of the day” posts 🤔 maybe I’ll have to try mix the two.
I will definitely check it, possibly try my first on lunch today.

Well I have no limit on creativity lol just lack of time this may be a perfect fit for me!
Thanks for the introduction to this project 💪

Yes exactly. When I lack time and inspiration I go there and it helps a lot!

I like the challenge of writing about something I’m not already familiar with, amazing response on my post!
I am definitely in 💪

Every day is different. Sometimes the words are quite odd! It's fun though and an easy way to get a post out when you get into the groove.
Odd sounds good 👌 I have an interesting writing style as it is and many of my subjects of choice are exactly that, odd. Maybe it will spark some further inspiration I have not yet tapped.
Looking it up now.

You will definitely fit right in with that attitude!
I suppose I’m no longer the odd man out now you could call me the odd man in! 😝

Yes indeed, it’s like learning a new language with all this crypto jargon.
