Writing help

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
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.
A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. [10 fast fingers](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english

I have a favor to ask. If you are on YouTube, can you please subscribe to my Sustainable Living Podcast channel. I am not asking you to watch, just to subscribe. I want to be able to do live Yoga classes and need more subscribers before I can access that function. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA73SuaMBnBIaB5OdiL_y6Q

A blockchain game where you create your own assets through an RPG crafting mechanism, except these assets are all individual NFTs you can equip on your RPG character. They are randomly generated, but based on your current achievements in the world. Your account name and the date it is created will be listed in the newly minted item you're going to build. Yes, you are a player. An avid user who has worked their ass off for tons of hours.

Turns out lady luck is on your side! Nearly all status come up as maxed in your first and last attempt. I mean, it took you years to gather everything you needed to make it. Although it was just a hobby... You hit the jackpot. It's worth at least 5 million dollars! So you text your friends to tell them about it. You have a little trouble doing so because the internet connection drops. When you go back to your PC, you have to log in again due to bad browser cookies. It doesn't recognize your password. You never wrote down your mnemonic.

Friday?

Friday, Friday, fun, fun, fun!!! Even today, the first thing that comes to mind is Rebecca Black's Friday YouTube music video. I'm sure there are some people who have already seen and forgotten about it, but you have just been reminded of its existence thanks to, well, me! Do you want to spank me? I completely understand.

At the time it had just come out, Rebecca's video was notoriously bad. Both lyrics and video production were incredibly lousy. You would think that was a one time thing, but no! I remember googling at the time. The company behind it was basically a rap artist scamming rich kiddos who wanted to try something artistic. Heck, if you've seen it, you probably remember a black singer suddenly bursting out some rap for no apparent reason during her song.

That was the standard musical production of all the customers who got into business with this shady guy. I mean, if there is demand, then I'm sure it's a somewhat acceptable business idea. But come on, it is kind of glorious. He was tricking high-class teenagers into spending serious cash in something that's only going to embarrass them throughout their whole lives.

oh god
I just realized I took the word "friday" as a prompt, instead of newly minted
