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
Here my entry hello @ mariannewest

Bards, the great travelers and singers from the days of taverns. Gathering folk of all kinds just so they could hear tales from never-ending adventures. They could be exaggerated, but what was really important is how they captured hearts. Children would be mesmerized by these mockingbirds who would spin a musical blessing upon those who would not even be able to enjoy music otherwise.
If anyone would want to rejoice by their presence, they'd be encouraged to tip. This might make them sound as if they were not such a mockingbird extraordinaire. It is true, it is a profession. What kind of grown up would truly be able to act and feel this way from the bottom of their hearts after strolling around a bit? It was a tough job, and poorly paid too. Such strong hearts, they had.

I neither read the book nor did I watch the movie. However, I heard that "Kill the mockingbird" is a classic of American literature and cinematography.
I never read or watched it either. First time I hear about it.
It's a very old movie with Gregory Peck. Here it is on Youtube
