The Madness Prompt 9
WE have finished one week!! It seems longer for some reason - like we have this novel writing thing down!!
I know some of you are only getting started while some are already getting close to the 50,000-word goal.
No matter where you are - Congratulations!!! Well done!
Why You Want to Vote For This Post
As promised, we are going to have a daily prompt/post here at the Freewrite House to add to the prize pool for the Mad Writers.
So far, we have 36 Steem in the pot to be split between the "winners." The prizes are donated by @felt.buzz, @whatisnew, and @mariannewest. This will be paid out either in SBI or in Steem transfer - that will be up to each of you.
Also, @ improv is sponsoring all that finish the 50,000 words to an SBI unit!!
These post will be short and sweet. Since we have participants from all over the world, expect this post to publish at 7 AM Pacific time - which is midnight of the next day for the GTM +10 people.

#NovMadFan Bruni sending some upvote love to these fabulous nano writers. All the stories are so incredibly wonderful. 💕
#NovMadFan s , I love you!
If haven't kept up with Follow Backs, please let me know. Twitter makes it sooooo much easier to spot a new Follower.
Love the gif @felt.buzz made (building on @ntowl's work)!
Steemworld tells you who followed you. Or Gina bot. But steemworld is very easy to access.
Oh, I didn't know this! I had no idea how to keep track of new followers – I have followed every Freewriter I've come across, as far as I know – but I worry sometimes that I may have missed someone who followed me, and could be coming across as rude. 🙈
I wouldn't worry about it... If people leave comments - then you know that they are actually engaging and you can follow them.
True, that - and how many people care about Follow Backs at Steemit?
Twitter makes it obvious and easy with notifications and icons so intuitive, even I can find 'em. Steemit? I don't see a list of new follows. Just gotta page through a thousand names ... tried Gina bot and dropped it because it was even busier than Discord. I just can't keep up and cannot fathom how others (people older than last-centur me!) manage.
I know ... I wish Steemit would improve in that regard. My eSteem app used to send me notifications whenever someone followed or upvoted me, commented on a post of mine, or replied to a comment I'd made, but a few weeks after I'd downloaded it, it ceased sending me all notifications and I could never figure out why. I never changed any settings on my phone and I've been keeping the app updated, so it's a complete mystery to me!
I'm sorry for that misery you describe so well, but relieved to know I am not alone. So it isn't Schadenfreude (delighting in the misery of others). Commiserating! (Now there's a word I never spell right on the first try. Thank heaven spell checker works at Steemit!)
