My freewrite recommendation is addressed to my friend @lisfabian: Filete de pescado, en español for the wide variety of fish she can find to consume. A delight does not matter how they prepare to eat them and the region where they are caught does not matter. In steak, grilled, baked or fried, its flavor is second to none.
@redheadpei pulls out all the stops. Not only does she model a beautifully written, clean, polished, and poignant soliloquy on the loss of a child, she also models the best of #freewriting at a time when freewritehouse has come under fire (the notorious downvoter with his vendetta on SBD, for one).
In defense of freewriting, I also included her exemplary post in this post which went live moments ago: Let's look for love, stop the hate, and spread #positivity, as @freewritehouse @theluvbug and other communities do.
My heart goes out to you, and my gratitude for sharing your story, @redheadpei!
Here's another - he's world-building AND freewriting AND spinning an epic story!
@worldbuilder explains what he's doing in this post. Ambitious!

Congratulations to the winners!
I just made a post with my recommendations which is scheduled for (my) tonight 7:30 pm after my bedtime. Here are my recommendations.
My 1st recommendation is written by @felt.buzz.
He used the prompt "enjoy the day".
How many times a day you hear someone say this to you? Once or thirty times?
Clive had it with it and as the waitress says "enjoy the day" he gives a quite unexpected answer.
Will this freewrite make us think twice before we say "Enjoy the day"?.
My 2nd recommendation is written by @d00k13
He used the prompt "Enjoy the day" in his freewrite poem.
How to enjoy the day if you are Down or Low?. It's easy to find out if your read this and before you know it you found ground and who knows more. Enjoy this good read.
My 3rd recommendation is written by @iamraincrystal.
It is a #weekendfreewrite which means she used the three prompts given. What a shame only one person tead this story about the cat Aimee. She is happy to see her master back but something goes wrong if she gazes on the mirror...

Thank you. Highly appreciate it 😊😊 have a fantastic week!
@iamraincrystal Same to.you ❤️
Congratulations to the winners!
This week I was struck by a freewrite full of feeling. Writing draining an old pain that never happens, the pain of losing a loved one and, in this case, a son, which is something that should not happen, as the author says, a father should not bury his son, it is an injustice of fate. This is @redheadpei and her "Mind over matter".
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@redheadpei/mind-over-matter
I have to say that this is my favourite this week:
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@whatisnew/day-831-5-minute-freewrite-how-brussel-sprouts-can-drive-a-person-crazy
Fresh from the oven :) I didn't know brussel sprouts can cause gout and I am very thankful to have read @whatisnew's funny poem about it. I love the humor and I especially love the rhyme in the poem :D
Congratulations, winners!
My recommendation for a freewrite from last week is @myjob's story about a girlfriend getting a facelift and surprising her boyfriend in more ways than one. I have some thoughts on what is going on in this short story that may prove to be spoilers here, so I will leave my thoughts as a reply to my first comment in https://steempeak.com/hive-161155/@ameliabartlett/more-than-a-facelift-short-story-or-five-minute-freewrite
Thank you so much for the prize! Congratulations to all too! There are too many really good freewrites to choose from...
Freewrite recommendations for this week go to...
@myjob for Day 828: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday - Prompt: facelift
Time flies by too fast. We sometimes like to look back to our younger days, then realize how much things have changed. I enjoyed reading this freewrite.
@redheadpei for Mind Over Matter
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy. Still, I like the thankfulness that came with this freewrite. There is much left to enjoy each day.
Bravo for the winners!
Of the Freewrites, which I read in the week.
I remember two.
I have very bad memory. Therefore, they must be my favorites.
Then I looked for them and here I leave them.

I liked his pun and his illustration.

He made me laugh with his hilarious analysis of the chin in the chin.
I would like to share this piece from @kaerpediem.
https://esteem.app/hive-161155/@kaerpediem/freewrite-or-or-describe-what-you-see-at-10-am.
Her biographical freewrite includes some touching points. Actions speak loudly and when she describes getting her coffee each day I recall a photo somewhere on thep internet of a girl pouting with crossed arms and a boy scowling is holding an umbrella over her head to shield her from the rain. She writes how writing helps keep her in a routine despite the uncertainty of life. I recommend this heatfelt freewrite.
@nathanthewise wrote about two things that I don't like, brussel sprouts and snow, but somehow, his thoughts flowed like a slow dance. He described his daily freewriting in such a beautiful, artistic way that I came very close to liking the snow. He reminded me how my life can be less stressful if I just go with the flow, especially when there is nothing I can do to change the weather.
